How to store our simmering potpourri bags before use

Store your potpourri bags in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keeping them in their original packaging or an airtight container will help preserve their scent.

How long do they keep their scent before use?

When stored properly, our simmering potpourri bags retain their fragrance for up to 6 months before use. For the best experience, use them within this timeframe.

How to Simmer in the Pouch

Leave It in the Pouch: No need to remove the ingredients! The pouch is made from a cotton material that allows the aroma to diffuse while keeping cleanup simple.

  1. Remove potpourri bag from the plastic packaging & remove paper hang tag.
  2. Place the entire unopened bag into a small pot.
  3. Add at least 4 cups of water, ensuring the bag will fully submerge.
  4. Bring the water to a simmer over low heat. Avoid boiling to prevent scorching the ingredients.
  5. Let the potpourri simmer gently to release its fragrance, refilling the water as needed to maintain the level.
  6. Do not leave unattended while simmering.

How long does a bag last?

You can simmer this bag on the lowest heat setting for one to four hours, then turn the heat off, let cool, and cover it with a lid. Once cooled, you can prolong the lifespan of the simmering potpourri by storing it in the fridge. Our simmering potpourri bags will last 4-7 days depending on how long it simmers each day.

What to do after the bag has simmered for an hour or so?

While simmering, ensure the pot has enough water by adding more as needed. After about an hour, your home should be filled with its delightful aroma. Avoid boiling the mixture, and never leave it unattended. Always monitor the pot and replenish the water as necessary to maintain a safe and effective simmer.

Why isn’t the bag full?

The ingredients inside the bag are 100% natural and fully dehydrated. They are compact before use. As the potpourri simmers, the dried ingredients absorb the water and begin to expand, gradually filling the bag with aromatic goodness. This natural process ensures that the scent is released slowly and evenly as the ingredients hydrate during simmering.

Can they be used in a crockpot?

Absolutely! These convenient simmering potpourri bags work perfectly in a crockpot. Simply fill a medium-sized crockpot about ¾ full with water, set it to high, and let it simmer for 3–4 hours with the lid off. Check the water level every hour and add more as needed. After simmering for your desired time and allowing the crockpot to cool, cover it and place it in the refrigerator to prolong the potpourri’s freshness.

How to dispose of the bag?

You can dispose of the bag by tossing it in the trash or adding it to your compost. Both the bag and its contents are biodegradable.

Enjoy the cozy, natural scent of your simmering potpourri, perfect for the holiday season or any time you want to add a touch of warmth to your home!
