🕯️ How to Use Simmering Granules
Use a suitable burner
Choose an oil/simmer burner with a dish on top and space underneath for a tea light candle.
Add the granules
Place 1–2 teaspoons of simmering granules into the top dish.
✔️ Do not add water or oil — they are designed to be used dry.
Light the tea light
Put a lit tea light in the base of the burner. The heat will gently warm the granules.
Enjoy the fragrance
Within minutes, the scent will release and fragrance the room. The aroma usually lasts 1–3 hours.
Finish safely
Extinguish the tea light when done and allow the burner to cool before touching or replacing the granules.
♻️ Reuse & Disposal
Granules can often be reused until the scent fades.
Once fragrance is gone, let them cool completely and dispose in the bin.
⚠️ Safety Tips
Never leave a lit burner unattended
Keep away from children and pets
Place on a heat-resistant surface
Ensure good ventilation.
