It’s easy to make potpourri, and I guarantee your own will smell better than the commercial, chemical-laden types. Just throw the following in a small pot of water (1-2 cups) and let it simmer on a low setting:
2 cinnamon sticks, each broken in half
6 whole cloves
8 cardamom pods, lightly smashed (you can smash them with the flat side of a knife blade or with a mortar and pestle)
Note: breaking/smashing the spices will release their essential oils and sharpen their aroma.
