What is your favorite scent of the holidays? It may be the invigorating scent of peppermint, the refreshing scent of a fresh tree, or the nostalgic scent of grandma's freshed baked gingerbread. These scents have a way of transporting us back in time to remember warm, comfortable memories of our childhood. I especially love the scent (and taste) of candy canes, they never fail to put me in a festive mood! Here is a great recipe for the delicious scent of "Christmas" to waft through your home:
THE SCENT OF CHRISTMAS
Fill a wide-mouthed pan 3/4 full with water. Add:
3 or 4 sticks of cinnamon
3 or 4 bay leaves
1/4 cup of whole cloves
1 lemon, sliced
1 orange, sliced
Simmer all ingredients on low, adding more water when necessary. You can use the mixture for a few days, and your house will smell delicious for the holidays.
I wish everyone a very happy, healthy, and scentual holiday!
