Holiday Simmering Potpourri



Everyone enjoys the aroma of sweet spices around the holidays. Here is a simple recipe, but you can experiment with scents of your own.

In an older kettle, place 1 cup crumbled bay leaves, 6-8 cinnamon sticks, 2 Tablespoons crumbled rosemary, 7-10 whole clove buds and the rind of 1 orange, torn into pieces. Cover with 4 cups water and bring to a boil. Turn heat down and simmer potpourri on back burner on stove, throughout the day or evening. Make sure to check frequently to make sure the water hasn't evaporated. Add more as needed. Do not consume.
