DIY Christmas Potpourri

Jessie Jane
by Jessie Jane
Check out my homemade potpourri recipe and make your home smell like Christmas all year long!
What you need


3 Cinnamon Sticks


1.2 cup cranberries


1/2 orange


3 tsp Nutmeg


1 tsp ground cloves


Directions


1. Combine everything in a small saucepan and cover with about 2" of water. (I also like to add a packet of apple cider to this, but that's totally optional) Simmer over low heat on your stove top for Christmas scent. Add water when it starts to get low.


TIP: You can just keep re-heating this over and over again for the scent.


TIP: Break your cinnamon sticks for a stronger scent.

    I've done similar in a small crock pot. I never thought of using cranberries. That's something I definitely will try! Thanks đź‘Ť
