There’s something especially comforting about fragrant botanicals gently simmering on the stove. Long before scented candles and plug-in warmers, simmer pots offered a simple way to fill a home with the fragrance of fruits, spices, and herbs.


At MAVEN + MOON, we’ve reimagined this simple tradition with our handcrafted Simmer Pot Blends, each composed to bring the warm, layered fragrances of autumn into the home.

🍊 The Blends


Autumn Ember

Bright, spiced, and grounding — a lively medley of dried orange and apple slices, cinnamon sticks, star anise, allspice berries, and bay leaves. Like a cozy hearth crackling on a crisp evening.


Amber Orchard

Sweet, warm, and nostalgic ~ dried apple slices, orange peel, cinnamon sticks, clove buds, star anise, allspice, and a whisper of vanilla bean. Imagine baked treats cooling on a farmhouse windowsill.


Harvest Hollow

Earthy, spiced, and woodsy — dried apple and pear slices mingled with clove buds, cinnamon chips, nutmeg, and juniper berries. A stroll through an enchanted forest at harvest time.


🍂 How to Use


Using our simmer pot blends is beautifully simple:


  1. Add your chosen blend to a small saucepan or simmer pot.

  2. Cover with water.

  3. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat and enjoy.


As the water evaporates, add more as needed to keep the botanicals safely submerged. Never leave a simmering pot unattended. When finished and fully cooled, discard or compost the botanicals as appropriate.


Bring the cozy aroma of autumn into your home. Explore the Simmer Pot Blends Collection and find a blend for crisp mornings, gatherings, quiet evenings, and the changing season.
