Happy Holidays

Every Year we make a big batch of our Holiday Simmering Potpourri, just wouldn't be the Holidays without it, I give it as gifts to friends and those who stop by during the Holiday Season,  I thought I would share the recipe with you this year...

Holiday Potpourri
1 cup cedar shavings
½ cup bay leaves – cut up
1 tsp orange peel
1 tsp lemon peel
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp. whole cloves
1 tbsp. whole all spice
2 tbsp. star anise
2 cinnamon sticks’ unrolled or cut up
1 cup lemon verbena
1 cup rose petals
1 tbsp. rosemary
Fixative- 2 tsp Orrisroot and 6 drops of bayberry oil
Store 3- 4 weeks in tightly closed jar
Shake 2-3 time per week

Smells great when simmering!

Enjoy !
