Rose Scented Potpourris

How To Do It

1. Spread petals, herbs & buds in single layer in boxes. Place boxes in warm dry place. Gently stir the contents every few days to make sure petals dry evenly. It usually takes 7 to 10 days to dry completely. Make sure petals are completely dry, or they may get moldy in the mixture.

2. Put dry petals in a container that can be covered. Sprinkle with cloves, cinnamon, allspice and bay leaves then gently stir. Then sprinkle with a fragrant oil. Cover and shake container gently every few days.

3. After a few weeks in the covered container, the dried petals will have absorbed the scents of the spices and oils. At this time the mixture will be ready to use.
