With the winter months upon us, unfortunately you are not able to open windows to bring in some fresh air (unless you get caught and yelled at for letting the cold air in) and the garden is at sleep until Spring arrives. Around this time of year, you may start to feel the cabin fever and anxious for Spring to arrive.
Well, here is a potpourri recipe that will help soothe the winter months away, while making any room smell wonderful. Keep some nearby in your bedroom, to help you sleep peacefully at night and in the bathroom, while you are soaking in a nice hot tub.
You will need the following:
5 ounces of lavender flowers
2 ounces of malva flowers
1 ounce of cornflowers
3 ounces of whole cloves
1 ounce of crushed cloves
1 ounce of broken pieces of cinnamon sticks
1/2 ounce of powdered allspice
1/2 ounce of powdered cinnamon
15 drops of lavender oil
Mix dried materials and spices together in a glass bowl. Add lavender oil and mix well. You can divide it into smaller containers. Enjoy.
