How to make Potpourri (not for eating!)

Ingredients

500ml organic rose petals
500ml organic lavender flowers
125ml organic peppermint
125ml organic marjoram
50ml driedmarigold petals
1tsporganic orange peel granules
50g orris root powder
30gorganic coriander seed
25gorganicnutmeg powder
30g organic cloves
2 organic cinnamon quills
A few drops of geranium essential oil
A few drops of lavender essential oil

Potpourri is a traditional method of creating a natural method to perfume your house. In this recipe, we provide a good starting point to show you how to make potpourri at home, or make some extra and give it as gifts. Alternatively if you like to create different moods with aromas try Steenbergs scented candles or Maroma incense sticks. 

Method

  1. 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.
  2. Tip the blended potpourri 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.
