I love working to the scent of a candle or mulling spices on the stove. Many weekends while organizing the kitchen or working at the table I'll either have a Bath & Body Works candle burning or something yummy smelling on the stove. Nutmeg, Cinnamon Sticks, Vanilla Extract (see how to make your own
here) & Whole Cloves simmering in water on the stove work wonders for freshening up the kitchen and making me want to continue working in there.
I will keep this cooking all day, every once in a while adding some water or adjusting the ratios to get a bit more of one scent.
I'm a huge Christmas fan around here so even in the spring or summer I love making this as it reminds me of Christmas.
Do you have a special combination of spices you like to use to make your house smell fresh and yummy?
great idea!

I do this all the time! There was one floating around on pintrest that I tried and it was divine! Orange slices, fresh rosemary and vanilla! One friend told me my house smelled "expensive" Ha!
ReplyDeleteI definitely like vanilla the most! :)
