Whats your favorite type of potpourri?
I want to know if its homemade or store-bought and the ingredients and if its wet or dry
My favourites are vanilla and citrus potpourris.
I buy vanilla potpourris and i make the citrus ones for my kitchen.
Both are dry potpourris
For the lemon one
8 cups of any of the following, or a combination of:
lemon leaves, lemon verbena, lemon-scented tea-tree, lemon thyme, lemon-scented geranium (pelargonium), and/or lemon grass
* 1/2 cup each orange and lemon peel dried
* 1 cup allspice, crushed lightly
* 1 cup fixative (I use Nutmeg, Vanilla pods or Cinnamon sticks)
* 6-8 drops lemon verbena oil
* 3-4 drops bergamot oil
METHOD
1. Combine all of the ingredients together in a large bowl (not the essential oils). Make sure everything is dry and discard any moist pieces.
2. Place the potpourri mixture into a dark container with a lid. Set aside for four to six weeks to infuse. Stir regularly to help blend the ingredients together and to ensure that the scent diffuses through the entire mixture.
3. Remove the potpourri from the infusing container. It is now ready to place in potpourri containers as wished. Top up now and again with fresh essential oils.
