Bring the smell of Christmas into your home with this easy and frugal potpourri recipe! Perfect for the holidays, but also versatile and SO easy to modify!
Ingredients
- 1 orange (see notes)
- 2-4 sticks cinnamon
- 1 tsp cloves
- ⅓ cup cranberries (see notes)
- 1 tsp anise (2-4 stars)
- 2 sprigs rosemary (see notes)
Instructions
- Fill a pot with water.
- Add your ingredients.
- Simmer on low for 3-4 hours for as long as you'd like!
Notes
- You can easily swap the citrus: lime, lemon, orange, clementine, tangerine. All of these will work! The citrus zesty scent just adds a zing.
- Cranberries add just a touch of sweetness, you can use just a small handful, or an entire cup depending on if you like the smell of berries.
- Rosemary works beautifully, but for a cheaper alternative bay leaves (4-5) or pine stems (just 2 will work wonders).
