Cajun Christmas Scent Recipes

CAJUN CHRISTMAS SCENT

• When mixture thickens, add more water.
• This is usually good for an entire weekend; after that discard and start over.

CHRISTMAS SCENT

Steps:

• Add orange and lemon slices to dry mixture of spices. Put in a small sauce pan with 4 cups of water. Simmer on low to release the fragrance. Or, you can simmer it in a mini (2 qt.) crock pot with the lid off for a safer alternative.
• IF you simmer it for a few hours, you will need to add more water occasionally so it doesn't boil dry. Store in refrigerator when not in use, to prevent molding. It can be simmered over and over again! Always add more water to equal 4 cups before each use.
• TO GIVE AS A GIFT: put ingredients in a quart-sized decorative jar. Add enough water to fill jar. Add a few drops of red food coloring if desired. Close securely and give with a small gift tag explaining how to use it.
• Note, I prefer to use the lesser amount of cloves so that they don't overwhelm the other fragrances.
