Holidays bring out the cozy in everyone. We decorate Christmas trees, hang stockings, light the fireplace… anything to make our house feel more like “home”.
This is a simple potpourri recipe that will make your house smell wonderful all season. And hey, it’s much cheaper and authentic than scented candles!
Mix all the ingredients in a crock on the stove. Bring to a boil, then let simmer for however long you’d like. Refill the pot with water over and over again as it evaporates. Best part – you can keep using! (I’m going on day #6 with the same original ingredients! It will turn brown, but the scent will still be delightful).
