2. Simmering Potpourri

Love the smell of Christmas? So do we! Make this simmering potpourri and it will smell up the entire house with the BEST holiday fragrance. What’s even better is that it can be reused. Simply put it in a container and place it in the refrigerator for up to one week. Bring it to a simmer again when you want the house to smell pretty again. If too much evaporates, add more of the ingredients to the mixture. It’s so easy!

Simmering Potpourri Ingredients

  • 4 cups of apple cider
  • 2 sliced apples
  • 1 tablespoons of cloves
  • 2 tablespoons of nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons of pumpkin spice extract
