Homemade Potpourri

I am a HUGE fan of scented candles, pumpkin spice being my absolute favorite. I would have one burning all day long if I could. Unfortunately, that can get pretty pricey. Quite a few years ago I found a recipe online for simmering potpourri that you can make yourself. The scent that permeates your home from this blessed concoction can only be explained as heavenly!

I thought I would share Joanne’s World Famous Simmering Potpourri Recipe with you, so that your home can smell just as delicious.

5-10 cinnamon sticks

1 heaping tbsp whole cloves

2-3 bay leaves

1/2 sliced lemon

1/2 sliced orange

Put all ingredients in a pot of water on your stove. Simmer over low heat, checking regularly so that it doesn’t boil over or burn out all water.

Make sure to let me know how it works for you!
