Stove-top potpourri kits


Cute neighbor gift idea: one orange, 1/2 c cranberries, 1 Tbs whole cloves, 3 sticks cinnamon, a bit of grated nutmeg. Instructions: "Quarter the orange, place all in a small saucepan filled with water and simmer on lowest setting. Refill water as needed."

Heat bag in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, or until warm, but not hot. Place it on your neck and relax or in your bed to keep your feet warm.

Ingredients:
1 sliced orange

2 cinnamon sticks

1 tablespoon of whole cloves

1 tablespoon of whole all spice
Directions:
On a stove, bring a medium-size pot of water to a simmer and add ingredients.
Check periodically to make sure water doesn’t evaporate.

5 to 6 cinnamon sticks, broken
1 tbsp. lemon peel
1 tbsp. orange peel
1/2 c. whole cloves
1 tbsp. nutmeg
1/4 c. whole allspice
1 tbsp. bay leaf pieces
2 slices dried apples, optional
