Okay, so I LOVE my home to smell pretty... but I am very picky about where I purchase my scents. In fact, I have high standards for my candles and wax melts, especially for the money I spend on them.
So, during the Christmas season, I am very abundant in spices.... actually, I have a lot of spices left over from last year. What spices? Cinnamon Sticks, Whole Cloves, Candied Ginger. I also have Satsuma (mandarin) oranges, recent purchase, in my fridge that are not to yummy enough to eat.
So what can I do with those spices and oranges? Well, I have ingredients to make a nice smelling potpourri!
Orange - cinnamon Potpourri
4 cups water
1-2 cinnamon sticks
10-15 cloves
1/2 tsp candied ginger
1 satsuma quartered
Put all ingredients in a small sauce pan and put over medium low heat. As water reduces, you can add more water. This should last all day, if not tomorrow too!
Happy Saving, and MERRY CHRISTMAS!
