Fall Simmering Potpourri

I love the smell of fall, I even like fall itself.

I just don't like what follows... winter!

However I love walking in my home and smelling

the fall scents that are so warm and inviting.

Making this simmering potpourri is extremely easy!

What you'll need:

Tangerine or orange peels

Cloves

Cinnamon sticks or ground cinnamon

Vanilla extract

Pumpkin pie spice

Water

Small crockpot, saucepan or tea kettle

You can choose how much you want to put in

of what, there really is no magic amount. I normally put

in more of my favorite scents. If using a tea kettle

or a sauce pan keep in mind you will have to keep

adding water to it. If you use a crockpot you

will not have to keep adding water and you can keep

it on even when you're asleep.

Some other ideas that you can add are:

Apple juice (instead of water)

Cranberries

Nutmeg

Anise (one of my favorites)

Dried fruit

Coffee beans

Have you ever made a simmering potpourri pot?

What do you normally put in yours?
