Are you ready to bottle up that nostalgic aroma of Christmas time and fill your home with it? This five-minute Holiday Stovetop Potpourri is quick, easy, and perfectly scented for the season.
I’ll admit it. I had to google the word "Potpourri.” It's such a bizarre spelling, and I always forget the silent "t." Luckily the making of this Holiday Stovetop Potpourri is much easier than it’s spelling, filling your home with the aroma of the season. Here’s how to make it.
What you’ll need to make this Holiday Stovetop Potpourri:
Rosemary
Cinnamon Sticks
Fresh Lemons
Fresh Cranberries
Cloves
Optional Add-Ins:
Nutmeg
Alternative Citrus like Oranges
Sprigs of Evergreen
Making the Potpourri
Fill a medium sized pan with water, and place it on the stovetop on low/simmer. I place this on a back burner to keep it out the reach of little hands and allow it to simmer for hours. Roughly speaking, here are the measurements I use, though you can always add more or less to your liking: two lemons (sliced), a tablespoon of cloves, four to five springs of rosemary, one to two cups of cranberries, and four to five cinnamon sticks.
Add all of your ingredients to the pot, and leave for as many hours as you'd like, checking periodically to see if you need to add more water. Alternatively, you can add all items to a crockpot on high and let it simmer with or without the lid (if you leave the lid off, check for water levels every so often). Also, be sure to keep this out of the hands of children, and turn off burners before leaving the house (safety first).
I hope you enjoy this festive recipe for a Christmas- scented home!
