Heat: fill your crockpot with water, use a high setting and place the lid on top.
Prepare: slice the citrus into rounds and peel a few citrus curls. Slice the ginger thinly.
Combine: combine all ingredients in your crockpot.
Simmer: turn the crockpot to a low heat to allow to gently simmer day-long, with the lid off to allow the scent to travel.
Check: check the water level every so often and keep it topped up.
Notes
For another great fall potpourri scent – try a combination of apple, golden kiwi, lemon slices, cinnamon quills, clove and a splash of vanilla.
For Christmas crockpot potpourri – try sliced citrus, cranberries, a sprig or two of fresh cypress or pine, ginger, cinnamon and vanilla bean.
You can add an essential oil blend if you like.
Rather than use a crockpot, you can do this over the stove in large saucepan.
If you’re after a great idea for festive gifts, add dried potpourri mix to a jar or airtight container with a sprig of rosemary and a hand-written label.
