Christmas Scent

This makes an excellent gift. Make sure you make some for yourself too though because it really smells wonderful. Please note, you need to use whole cloves. Ground cloves are much stronger and will definitely overwhelm the other scents. If you aren't a fan of cloves, feel free to leave them out entirely. I do sometimes.
1 jar
Ingredients
- 2-4 tablespoons cloves (whole) (optional)
- 2-4 cinnamon sticks
- 4 bay leaves
- 1/2 orange, sliced
- 1/2 lemon, sliced
Directions
1
Add orange and lemon slices to dry mixture of spices. Put in a small sauce pan with 4 cups of water. Simmer on low to release the fragrance. IF you simmer it for a few hours, you will need to add more water occasionally so it doesn't boil dry. Store in refrigerator when not in use, to prevent molding. It can be simmered over and over again! Always add more water to equal 4 cups before each use.2
TO GIVE AS A GIFT: put ingredients in a quart-sized decorative jar. Add enough water to fill jar. Add a few drops of red food coloring if desired. Close securely and give with a small gift tag explaining how to use it.3
Note, I prefer to use the lesser amount of cloves so that they don't overwhelm the other fragrances.

Just realized I never reviewed this from this past winter. I put this in the steamer atop our wood stove and apparently that doesn't work as well as using it on the stove as the fragrance wasn't very detectable......what scent was there was lovely though......will use on the stove next time for the full effect and thank you for the recipe.

This natural blend is a great scent not only for the holiday season but year around. Fills the house with the wonderful aroma of home baking. Putting the ingredients in a decorative jar for gift giving is an excellent idea. Love the photo!

This is a "must have" around my house in the cooler months(November to January). We love the scent of oranges and lemons simmered together with the spices. Truly a pleasure to smell a whiff of these in the air
