Ingredients
- 2 oranges (or any citrus fruit like lemons or limes)
- 1/4 cup whole cloves
- 1/2 cup coarse sea salt or rock salt
- 1 cinnamon stick (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 2 cups water
Instructions
- Prepare the Citrus: Cut the oranges in half or into thick slices. If using lemons or limes, you can do the same.
- Add Cloves: Insert whole cloves into the citrus pieces or sprinkle them around in a small bowl.
- Layer with Salt: Place the citrus and cloves in a bowl or jar, and generously sprinkle the salt over them.
- Enhance the Aroma (Optional): Add a cinnamon stick and a splash of vanilla extract for a richer fragrance.
- Simmer on the Stove (Optional): If you want the scent to spread quickly, place the ingredients in a pot with water and simmer on low heat.
- Place Around Your Home: Alternatively, set the bowl in a warm area (like near a sunny window) to naturally release the fragrance over several days.
