Christmas Stovetop Smells (Printable Version)
An easy, fresh way to bring warm holiday aromas into your house using items like citrus, spices, rosemary, and cranberries. Lovely idea for gifts too.
# What You’ll Need:
01 -
1 orange, whole.
02 -
1 cup of diced apples or cranberries (your pick).
03 -
2-3 cinnamon sticks (for a cozy scent).
04 -
A couple of rosemary sprigs, about 2-3.
05 -
2 teaspoons of whole cloves.
06 -
4-6 cups water, as needed.
07 -
Big treat bags for giving away.
08 -
Gift-worthy ribbon for tying.
09 -
A hole punch for tagging.
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Cut up the orange into slices and throw everything in a pot along with the water. Let it gently bubble on low, and top off with more water if it gets low.
02 -
Dump all ingredients into your slow cooker with water. Cover and cook on HIGH for a few hours. Want an intense aroma? Leave the lid off.
03 -
Start by layering the bag with the orange and cranberries. Toss in the herbs and spices after that. Finish off by tying it up with a ribbon and adding a tag.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Switch up the citrus—try lemons or limes.
02 -
Ground spices can work if you're short on whole ones.
03 -
Top off the water while it's cooking to keep it going.
