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?
