Simmering Christmas Scent
Fill your home with the heavenly scent of Christmas. This recipe will smell better than any scented candle and also makes a wonderful Chrismas gift.
Fill your home with the warm and inviting scents of Christmas with a simmering festive fragrance made effortlessly in your Thermomix. This healthy and natural recipe combines seasonal favorites like fresh orange slices, cinnamon sticks, cloves, star anise, and a hint of vanilla for a truly delightful aroma. Unlike synthetic sprays or candles, this simmering potpourri is free from chemicals, making it a safe and lovely way to set the holiday mood. Simply add the ingredients with water to your Thermomix bowl, set it to simmer, and let the cozy scent fill your space, evoking the magic of the season.
You could transfer this to the stovetop if you need your Thermomix in action, just set it onto a really low low heat and let the ingredients perform their magic!
A great gift idea is to have all the ingredients put into a jar and then gifted with instructions. (You would need to use dried apple for this option.)
