Stress Reducer

It has been a wee bit stressful here lately (dealing with insurance companies regarding a car accident, etc.), so yesterday and today I’ve been simmering potpourri. The recipe is my Christmas potpourri, but it has been a tremendous stress-reducer in our home the last two days. Here’s the recipe:

Chopped apples

Orange peels

Cloves

Cinnamon sticks

Water

Place all the ingredients in a pot and simmer. Relax and enjoy!

I have even refrigerated the remaining potpourri overnight and used it again the next day. Simply add a little more fruit.

If you have a favorite potpourri recipe, would you mind sharing it with me and the other readers? If you add it to the “comments” section, others will be able to enjoy it and swap recipes as well. Thanks!

Here’s to great smelling homes and low stress levels!
