Stovetop Aroma Recipes for Every Season
There are fewer things more welcoming than a delicious scent filling your home. Whether you're hosting a birthday party or Christmas with the family, the quick and simple action of lighting a candle can change the entire atmosphere of your home. However, with more and more people avoiding synthetic fragrances and utilizing more natural approaches to a smell-good home (e.g. essential oils), we wanted to offer up a few simple, quick, and easy ideas for stovetop potpourri that, most likely, you already have the ingredients for. These are far more budget-friendly than many of the alternative options out there, too!
If you've never put together a stovetop potpourri recipe before, they're very easy. Simply pull out your largest pot and fill with water until 3" from the top. From there, add all of your chosen ingredients, cover, bring to a boil, then turn the heat to low and simmer on the stove with no lid. All you have to do is make sure your water never runs out (check every hour), and an amazing fragrance will fill your home all day! This technique is excellent during the dry winter or summer months, as it will fill the air with moisture, as well.
