Homemade potpourri
Time:10 min
Difficulty:Easy
When there are no flowers or fresh cut grass swirling around outside, coming home to a burst of cozy scents can be a real treat in the middle of the winter. Why not make your own at-home scents?
Here’s what you need:
- Pot, mason jar, or shallow heat-proof bowl
- Water
Here’s what you can use:
- Fresh needles from your favourite evergreen tree (pine, spruce, ect.)
- A piece of tree stump (the sappier the better)
- Cinnamon sticks
- Cloves
- Raw cranberries
- Orange slices or peels
- Dried or fresh peppermint leaves (hint: peppermint tea is often pure peppermint leaves)
- Dried or fresh rosemary
- Apple slices
- Cardamom
- Vanilla extract
- Grated nutmeg
Here’s how you make it:
Step 1:
Gather all your ingredients! You can pick any from the list, or come up with some of your own.
Step 2:
Put your ingredients into a heat-proof bowl (or a pot or mason jar) and fill it halfway with water.
Step 3:
Place this in a warm place (safely away from any pets or clumsy family members).
Somewhere like the top of a radiator, over part of a heating vent, or on the stove on the lowest setting if you’re using a pot.
Step 4:
Sit back and enjoy the woody winter scents that fill your home!
