COUNTRY KITCHEN POTPOURRI This potpourri has a warm, welcome home aroma that is pleasant any time of year.
INGREDIENTS 1 tablespoon aniseed 1 tablespoon allspice 6 nutmegs 6 cinnamon sticks, coarsely broken 1 teaspoon powdered ginger 1/4 cup whole cloves 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1-2 vanilla beans, cut into 1/2 inch pieces 1 cup coarse salt such as koher salt
1. Crush aniseed and allspice in a mortar and pestle. 2. Use a hammer to crack the nutmeg and cinnamon sticks. 3. Mix all of the ingredients together and fill a lidded container of your choice. Old Mason jars work well. 4. Open whenever you want to freshen the air.
something got lost on that copy and paste. fixed the measurement on the cloves.

That sounds like it would smell wonderful, and better than chemical air fresheners.

OMG Some of my favorite scents. Thanks for posting this. I am trying to get away from chemical fresheners. Chemical in general.
