Spicy Simmering Potpourri Recipe




Do you love potpourri simmering in your home?
I love it too!  :)
When I was at the apple orchard recently, I bought a little bag of simmering apple scent potpourri. 
Hmmmm, it has such a wonderful autumn fragrance!
I am enjoying the scent now as it simmers in my little potpourri burner in my kitchen.

I typically make my own Spicy Simmering Potpourri mix:
  • 1 oz. can cinnamon sticks, broken into pieces
  • 1 (1.12 oz) can whole cloves
  • 1 (1.25 oz) can whole allspice
Mix the ingredients in airtight container.  Place 1 heaping teaspoon into 1/2 c. of water in simmering burner or you can also simmer in pan on your stove.  You can certainly add other favorite spices, as well.  (Just a little warning, though....please watch your water level as the water level decreases!)



Have a Beautiful, Autumn Day!!!
