Stove top potpourri is one of the easiest ways to bring the holiday spirit into your home. There's something so festive about cinnamon and orange wafting through the house. What I love about these, is that they're so easy to customize. You can throw your favorite scents into a pot of water and voilà, your very own potpourri.
These have become a tradition for us, and I especially love doing these on cloudy or rainy days. It's so cozy to light a candle, snuggle up in comfy clothes, and have yummy smells coming from the kitchen.
I tend to change up what I throw into mine each time, it's never the same. But here's the recipe for the one I did recently!
Ingredients
- water
- 1 bag of cranberries
- 1 orange
- 3-5 sticks of cinnamon
- whole cloves
- springs of fresh Douglas tree
Directions
- Fill a pot halfway with water.
- Cut the orange into 1/4 in slices.
- Dump the bag of cranberries, oranges, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and sprigs into the water.
- Turn heat on to a simmer.
TIP::Make sure to check your water level every so often to make sure you don't run out of water and burn your potpourri!
That's it! Super simple, and a way to bring that cozy holiday vibe into your home! I'd love to see pictures of your potpourri creations so don't forget to tag me on instagram so I can follow along!
Merry Christmas friends!
