Make Your Own Holiday Potpourri: Advent Day 18
One of our favorite things about the holidays are the smells of the season. From the amazing aroma of fresh cookies baking in the oven to the the smell of a newly cut tree, the smells of the holiday season always bring a big smile to our faces. But one of our favorite Christmas time aromas is that of cinnamon. So for Day 18 of Advent we are combining Liz’s DIY with Ryan Cooks and showing you how to create your very own Holiday Potpourri.
Making your own holiday potpourri is super easy. Simply slice a few oranges, grab a few cinnamon sticks, and place them in a small pot. Cover with water and add a few dashes of your favorite spices, we used nutmeg and cloves. Then bring the mixture to a simmer over low heat. The aroma of citrus and cinnamon will slowly fill your kitchen and whole house. The best thing is that you can be super creative with your own potpourri. Try using apples instead of oranges, or add a dash of vanilla or a little bit of pumpkin spice.
