🍯10 Ways to Use Your Simmer Pot Water🍯
🛑 Don't pour it down the sink straight away. Once your simmer pot has cooled, you can give the water a second life.
1. 🪣Mop Your Floors
Add the cooled water to your mop bucket for a subtle natural scent throughout your home.
2. 🥏Clean Benchtops
Use it as a natural wipe-down solution for kitchen and bathroom surfaces (avoid if it contains ingredients that could stain).
3. 🪴Water Outdoor Plants
If your simmer pot only contained natural ingredients like citrus, herbs, and spices, let it cool completely and use it on garden plants.
4. 🚽Freshen Your Toilet
Pour it into the toilet bowl and leave for 10–15 minutes before scrubbing.
5. 💦Make a Room Spray
Strain the water, pour into a spray bottle, and use within a few days. Store in the fridge for best results.
6. ✨️Refresh Outdoor Areas
Pour it over pavers, patios, or outdoor entertaining areas for a temporary fresh scent.
7. 🧹Use as a Floor Wash for Ritual Cleaning
If you blend practical cleaning with intention-setting, use the water when washing floors to symbolize clearing stagnant energy.
8. 🌏Compost the Ingredients
After straining, add the fruit, herbs, and spices to your compost bin.
9. 🌳Create a Garden Offering
Pour the cooled water around trees, flowers, or herbs as a way of returning the ingredients to nature.
10. 🌙Use in a Moon or Seasonal Ritual
If that's part of your practice, use the water as a symbolic cleansing wash for thresholds, doorways, or outdoor spaces.
Before you tip your simmer pot water down the sink... 👀
That pot of citrus, herbs, and spices has one more job to do.
A simmer pot isn't just about making your home smell amazing, it's about getting the most from what you already have.
