You can make your house smell amazing with some of the fruits and
spices that you have around the house. Everyone loves candles but they
can sometimes have questionable chemicals if you don't buy ones made
with natural or organic ingredients. There are so many fun
scent combinations! Get creative and come up with your own simmer pot
recipe. Just add 5 cups of water to a large pot, add your ingredients
and set your stove to low/medium! Here's a few to get you started!
Apple Cinnamon Spice
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 1 whole apple peel
- 4 whole cloves
Vanilla & Orange
- 3 tsp vanilla extract
- Peel from a whole orange
Clean House
- 3 lemons sliced
- 2 sprigs of rosemary
- 1 tsp all natural vanilla extract
Spicy Orange
- 2 oranges sliced
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 3 tbs of cloves
I have been wanting to try one of these forever!! Since it's the holidays, I am going to go ahead and try the apple cinnamon spice this weekend..or the spicy orange!
ReplyDeleteYay! Take pictures and let me know how it goes.
DeleteI've never tried these, well at least not DIY. I am the anti-Martha trying desperately to find a sliver of DIY and craft in me. I may give this a whirl. It would make a great gift.
ReplyDeleteI'm not much of a DIYourselfer either.
DeleteOoh I have clementines in my house right now. Maybe I can substitute those peels for oranges and make a Clementine vanilla simmer pot.
ReplyDeleteYeah, try it out that way and let me know what you think.
