4 Ingredient Stovetop Holiday Potpourri
Description
The 4 Ingredient Stovetop Holiday Potpourri brings together orange slices, fresh cranberries, a cinnamon stick, and nutmeg in a medium saucepan filled halfway with water. As the mixture simmers gently, it infuses the air with a comforting blend of citrus, spice, and berry notes typical of the holiday season. The ongoing simmering requires occasional water refilling to prevent drying out.
This homemade potpourri creates a subtle, natural fragrance that fits well during winter gatherings or quiet evenings. It provides an ambient scent without smoke or synthetic chemicals.
Because it is simmered on the stove, it is recommended to turn off the potpourri when leaving the home for safety reasons. This method allows for customizable scent intensity by adjusting ingredient amounts or simmer time.
Ingredients
- 1 orange sliced
- ⅓ cup cranberries fresh
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
Notes
- Refill the pot with water throughout the day to keep the mixture from drying out and burning.
- Turn off the potpourri when you're not at home for safety.
- Using fresh ingredients ensures a brighter, more natural aroma.
