- 2-4 Tbsp. whole cloves
- 2-4 cinnamon sticks
- 4 bay leaves,
- 1/2 orange sliced
- 1/2 lemon sliced
Mix all together and put in a saucepan with 4 cups water. Simmer on low to release the fragrance. (or put in a potpourri pot.)
To give as a gift put ingredients in a decorative jar add enough water to fill the jar. If you wish for color, add a few drops of red food coloring.
Close securely and add a tag to explain how to use.
Store in fridge when not in use. Can be used over and over.
Note: I prefer to use the lesser amount of cloves so they won't overpower the other ingredients. Enjoy!
