Simmering potpourri is a lovely way to leave your home smelling warm and inviting and delicious!

Simple ingredients from your cupboard and citrus fruits to your stove and before you know it, it's heaven simmering on your stove. 

If you have a small slow cooker, just place the same ingredients into your slow cooker and let it simmer on low all day.


Stove Top Method:

Add 4 cups of water into a small sauce pan and desired ingredients (see scent combinations below)
Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to low.  Do not let the water evaporate (add more water if needed)


Apple Pie: 2 slice apples, 1 lemon slice,  2 sticks of cinnamon, dash of vanilla extract

Spicy Vanilla: 4 whole cloves, 1 stick of cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Ginger Spice: 10 slices of fresh ginger, 1 cinnamon stick and 1 teaspoon of vanilla

Lemon Rosemary: 1 sliced lemon, 3 springs of rosemary, 1 cinnamon stick and 1 teaspoon of vanilla

Cranberry Citrus: 1 cup of cranberries, 1/2 lemon and orange sliced, 2 cinnamon sticks, 1 Tbsp. cloves

Spicy: 1 whole nutmeg, 1/2 Tbsp. whole clove and 5 star anise 2 cinnamon stick

Lime Mint: 2 limes sliced, 2 springs of fresh mint or 1/2 teaspoon of peppermint extract

The combinations are endless.  Try fresh or dried herbs, bay leaves, dried citrus peels, pine needles, to give your simmering potpourri a scented new twist.
