- Mix together all the ingredients bar the essential oils. When blended together well, add the oil a drop at a time, stirring continuously and so enabling it to be spread evenly throughout the mix.
- Tip the blended pot pourri into a large jar, filling it only loosely and store in a dark, warm dry place. Give the jar a shake every few days to blend together the ingredients further and allow the aroma to mature. Don't be impatient as the maturation time is key.
