NATURAL ROOM SCENTS
SIMPLE RECIPES FOR AIR FRESHENERS YOU CAN MAKE AT HOME
Add fragrance to your home using simmering waters infused with spices, herbs and fruits.
These are easy and inexpensive ways to fill your room with pleasant scents.All you need are some snippets of fresh herbs, a couple of citrus slices, a pinch of spice and boiling hot water.
INGREDIENTS
The ingredients can be things you have in your kitchen, like ginger, slices of lemon, orange peels, expired juices to add color, left over herbs and spices. There are endless combinations for these scented waters
ORANGE , CINNAMON AND CLOVE
This is a favorite for its wonderful aroma and staying power. This scent carries into multiple rooms and can be re heated for re use.
LEMON, ROSEMARY AND VANILLA
This scent has a lovely freshness.
ORANGE, GINGER AND ALMOND EXTRACT
This is a sweet delicious scent.
LIME, THYME, MINT AND VANILLA EXTRACT
This combination has a fresh, pleasant scent. The mint leaves help kick up the aroma.
HEAT THE POTION
Simply heat all the ingredients in a pan on the stove, bring it to a boil and then simmer. They will immediately begin to scent your kitchen and then spread to other rooms. Keep a close watch on water levels, if the pan dries out you will smell burnt citrus instead of sweet fragrant citrus. As the water evaporates keep adding water to keep the fruit and herbs covered all the time.
FONDUE POT METHOD
If you have a fondue pot then you have a portable scent station. Get the scent mixture boiling hot before adding it in the fondue pot. Best placed in the entry way so that your guests smell the wonderful fragrance as they walk in.
RE USE MIXTURE 2-3 TIMES
After you have heated and simmered the mixture the water may become cloudy and some of the ingredients may lose their vibrant color. You can re use and re heat the mixture 2 to 3 times, it may not look as pretty but will smell good. You can even refrigerate it in a closed container to re use later.

PORTABLE SCENTS

Now they are ready to place in different rooms around the house. To keep the jars emitting a strong scent keep topping them up with hot water.
