With the winter fast approaching the cold weather means doors and windows are kept shut a little more than e’d like, which can mean a bit of a “pong” in the house. This weeks “we love” feature is a modern day twist on Pot Pourri. A simple idea which gives the most wonderful aroma.
Read below for the instructions:
Stove top pot pourri is very simple to make – all you need is some water and some ingredients.
Place your chosen ingredients into a small pan of water.
Simmer on as low a heat as you can.
Keep an eye on the pot and refill with water as needed (much like an oil burner).
Ingredient Ideas:
Cinnamon sticks
Citrus peel (peeling hips release the oils and aromas)
Rosemary
Cloves
Pears (slice fruit again to release the aromas)
Cranberries
Basil
Star anise
Cardamon
Pine Cones
