What to Use in Your Foraged Simmer Pot
There are many dissimilar ingredients that can be used in a holiday simmer stool . I especially wish to used scrounge point as much as potential !
Not only does it get you out of doors in the fresh air ( we can all use more wise air this time of yr , right ? ) but the foraged factor add a adorable tactile sensation to the stovetop salmagundi .
I generally use a combination of foraged and non - foraged ingredients , mostly because I care to add oranges and cinnamon which ca n’t really be scrounge where I survive . But if you need to go for all foraged , that ’s expectant too !

Here are some of my favorite things to include:
You do n’t need to use all of these , and there are in spades more that could be added likespicebush berry , creeping wintergreen leave of absence or Berry , orchard apple tree slice , star anise seed , pine cone shape , bay leaves , and more !
I generally start with a base of fresh cranberries , conifer springs , orange slices , and spices like cinnamon sticks , whole cloves , and ginger . Then I add whatever else I have on hand or can easily scrounge !
I particularly like addingdried confect cap mushroomsto the foraged simmer pot ! They have an incredible taste and olfactory sensation that is similar to maple syrup , specially when dried !
Candy caps can also beforaged freshif you live on the west coast , but I still recommend dry out them before using to boil down that maple sirup flavor .
How to Use a Foraged Simmer Pot
First fill a large pot about 3/4 full of urine , then bring all of the ingredients you ’d like to admit . Then put the raft on the stove on medium - high heat until the water comes to a boil .
ferment the heat down so that the water just barely simmers . It will smell absolutely amazing ! Just like the holidays should .
Let it simmer for as long as you ’d like , just keep an eye on the water level so that it does n’t get too low . you may always add a bit more water to it if need be .
One thing to mention is that depending on what you add to the simmer pot , most of the ingredients I ’ve listed are eatable and make a lovely Camellia sinensis ! I taste a bit after it had simmer for about an hour and it was actually pretty delicious !
I know that you will know this forage simmer pile ! It ’s a corking natural room to make your family olfactory modality so serious and get in that festive modality .
