What does Christmas smell like to you? To me, it's cinnamon. Today, I'm going to share with you a potpourri recipe to simmer on your stovetop. This is also a quick and easy hostess gift that you can package in a nice small jar or cello bag with ribbon and a nice handwritten label with the recipe and directions.
Christmas Potpourri
An original My Cupboard Love recipe
2 cinnamon sticks
2 tsp whole cloves
1/2 whole nutmeg
1 slice of orange, dried
2 star anise
1 bay leaf
1/4 tsp ground allspice
To dry orange slices, preheat oven to 175 degrees. Slice orange quite thin and place on parchment paper lined baking tray. Allow to dry in oven, approximately 8 hours.
Place all ingredients in pot and add 2 cups of water. Simmer over low heat. Keep adding water as necessary. Don't forget about it! This mixture can be used for three days before discarding.
