Notes

How long do you boil a simmer pot? A minimum of 2-3 hours is recommended to really notice the aroma in your house but you can let it brew all day! Just keep adding water as necessary as it will boil down and you don't want it to burn.
Turn it into a gift by making a basket with the fruit, a knob of ginger, whole cloves, cardamom pods, and cinnamon sticks. Add a pretty card with instructions.
Substitute any citrus fruit! Both limes and grapefruit are lovely.
Vary the herbs you use! Fresh rosemary sprigs go beautifully with lemon, vanilla extract, and lavender.
Use a tsp of your fave pumpkin spice blend to make it easy peasy.
