Notes

This is fully customizable to your fragrance preferences. 
Try a variety of spices and fresh herbs to find your favorite combination.
Watch the water level the longer it's on heat and refill as needed. 
I have reused the same pot 2 days in a row, I turn it off in the evening and then refresh it in the morning with more water and spices.
