Stovetop Instructions
- To make a pot for yourself simply fill a pot with a mixture of spices, orange slices, cranberries, and rosemary.I just eyeball everything and make a larger batch. Typically 1-2 oranges (sliced), a couple of handfuls of cranberries, a few sprigs of greenery, 1-2 tablespoons of whole cloves and allspice, 3-4 star anise, and 3-4 cinnamon sticks.
- Add 6-8 cups of water. Simmer on low. Add water as needed to prevent the mixture from burning. Do not toss the potpourri at the end of the day. Simply remove from heat until ready to simmer the next day.
