Wouldn't this be great to give (and receive) this Christmas?
Christmas Scent
2-4 tablespoons cloves (whole) (optional)
2-4 cinnamon sticks
4 bay leaves
1/2 orange, sliced
1/2 lemon, sliced Add orange and lemon slices to dry mixture of spices. Put in a small sauce pan with 4 cups of water. Simmer on low to release the fragrance.
TO GIVE AS A GIFT: Put ingredients in a decorative jar. Add enough water to fill jar. Add a few drops of red food coloring. Close securely and give with a small gift tag explaining how to use it. Store in refrigerator when not in use, to prevent molding. Can be simmered over and over again! Note, I prefer to use the lesser amount of cloves so that they don't overwhelm the other fragrances.
Yield: 1 jar
