Potpourri Blend
Resources
1 teaspoon of dried Chamomile flowers
1 cup of boiling water
1 spoonful of honey (optional)
Method
1. To speed up the process of drying chamomile flowers, place them in an oven at the lowest temperature (approx. 30 degrees). Use a wooden spoon to slightly open the oven to allow moisture to escape and remove when dry.
3. In a bowl, mix together the dried chamomile flowers and your preferred additional essential oils and scents (e.g. lavender or thyme for a relaxing blend).
4. Scoop the mixture into a small fabric bag and seal the bag with a secure knot.
5. Place in your linen cupboard, clothing drawers or bathrooms for a radiating, fragrant scent.
