The Sweet Smells of Christmas.
You know the way your mom or your grandma's (or whoever does the baking in your family) kitchen used to smell after a long day of baking holiday goodies? Now inhale. Your place have that lovely aroma? Here's a great way to get it. (While you can probably eat this, I wouldn't advise it. It's for scent only!)
Ingredients:
1 quart water
3 cinnamon sticks
3 bay leaves
1/4 c. whole cloves
2 strips orange peel
2 sections lemon
Directions:
Combine everything in a medium saucepan and simmer over low heat for as long as you like. Check on it every hour or so and add more water as needed. This should last about a week.
Enjoy!
