Notes
- Please note, this is not a drinkable recipe and is to be used as potpourri only.
- This stovetop potpourri recipe can also be made in the slow cooker. Simply cook on low for as long as you’d like, adding water as the level drops.
- You can bring the potpourri to a boil, but be sure to turn the heat down as soon as it reaches this point. Let simmer for as long as you’d like to release the scent of the ingredients.
- If you wish to dry some of your potpourri ingredients, such as the cranberries, orange slices, or apples (if included), remove them from the mixture and place them on a baking sheet. Bake at 150°F for about 30 minutes.
