As Fall continues and winter days are drawing closer theres nothing better than snuggling up in your warm home surrounded by the scents of the season. But, if you're like me, you aren't jumping at the chance to spend your money on overpriced potpourri at Pier 1 Imports. Of course there are inexpensive options such as Glade scented candles, but I personally enjoy my homemade scent that is inexpensive and can be tailored to fit any season.
My stovetop fragrance allows you to get a unique smell for any season using ingredients from your on kitchen. Nothing is cheaper than using items you already have! Plus letting it simmer on the stove top gives warmth to any home.
What you'll need:
1 Sauce Pan
Water
1 tbsp nutmeg
1 clove
2 cinnamon sticks or 1 tsp ground cinnamon
4-6 slices of apple with the skin
1 orange peel
1 tsp vanilla
Directions:
Take sauce pan and fill about halfway. Boil water. Add apples and orange peel. Add cinnamon sticks, clove, nutmeg, and vanilla. Stir together. Bring water down to lower heat for 2-3 min. Reduce heat to lowest setting and let mixture sit.
To Store: Refrigerate mix in covered container. Reheat on stove top adding more water each time.
This stovetop scent will fill you whole house with warmth and great seasonal smells. It can also be switched up for different holidays by switching out a few ingredients! Enjoy!
