Recipe: Yuletide Potpourri

2 cups pine needles
3 tablespoons rosemary
dried orange peel from 2 large oranges
tiny pinecones
1 cup bay leaves
1 tablespoon whole cloves
4-6 whole cinnamon sticks
2 tablespoons ground orris root
14 drops cinnamon oil


Directions:

Mix the first seven ingredients together in a ceramic or glass bowl.
In a separate container, stir together the orris root and cinnamon oil. Add this to the dried mixture. Toss gently. Allow to cure for 2 weeks in a tightly closed container in a cool, dark place. Shake occasionally. Make sachets for gift giving (along with a tag with the recipe!), or place in a decorative bowl to scent a room.
