How to Make Your Home Smell Like Christmas

December 14, 2017 by 101 Days... Leave a Comment

At Christmas time, there’s nothing better than a home that actually smells like Christmas. And the good news is that’s it not hard at all to make that happen! Besides burning candles or decorating a live tree, there’s a fantastic method that starts in the kitchen and has a way of permeating the whole house. Stay tuned for one the of the easiest ways to make your home smell like Christmas!

With some simple, natural grocery store ingredients and this recipe you can have your home smelling like Christmas in no time flat. Here is what you need:

one apple

one orange

two cinnamon sticks

10-15 whole cloves

All you need to do is quarter the apple, peel the orange, and toss everything in a medium saucepan. Add water just to cover the ingredients. Set the pan on the stove, and bring it to a simmer. Now just let it simmer away on low heat, but at least once an hour you will want to add additional hot water to make sure that the water doesn’t boil off and leave you with a burned pan. {I might know this from personal experience. Whoops!}.

I like to do this in my home, but I vary the ingredients. Instead of using an apple, I slice a lemon and throw it in. Instead of using just the orange peel, I slice the orange and use the whole thing. Don’t be afraid to try adding a bay leaf or some nutmeg as well. Good luck! Your home is about to smell amazing!
