Simmering Holiday Pot Potpourri





At the MOPS meeting this last Tuesday we made Simmering Holiday Potpourri bags. They smell so wonderful. Since the meeting I've made several and I am giving them out as gifts. They really make great gifts and make your house smell like Hot Apple Cider or Pie. I had mine simmering all day today. I certainly can't take the credit, but my friend Sarah Curl can and Sarah Kuhn took the time to get everything ready for the meeting. What a great gift gals! I love it and that is why I want to share it with all of you. I would recommend using it within a few day though, mine got a little moldy, but I still threw mine in the pot and it smelled great (the lemon just had a little mold on it). I hope you enjoy it as much as I have:)


Combine:
1/2 orange
1/2 lemon
1/2 lime
2 cinnamon sticks
1/2 teaspoon whole cloves
and 1 bay leaf
Add ingredients to a pot of water and simmer on the stove!

Great idea!!! I bet it smells GREAT!!! If you didn't want it to spoil, you could always use dried orange slices/etc. (just an idea)
