Inexpensive Home Fragrance

Here is a great way to keep your home smelling delicious during the holidays!

Directions

• Bring a saucepan full of water to a boil, then add the ingredients from a recipe of your choice.  Bring the water and ingredients to a boil, maintain the boil for a few minutes then turn down the heat and simmer all day.  Just be sure to add water as needed. 
• Caution: Set your timer for 30 minutes so you remember to top up with water. You don’t want the pot burning dry. Do not leave the house with this left heating on the stove.
