Dried Stovetop Simmer Pots

GiftsRoom scent

Potential Ingredients:

  • 3-4 fresh rosemary and lavender clippings from my own garden
  • Dried orange slices
  • Dried lemon slices
  • 1-2 cinnamon sticks
  • 1 tablespoon(ish) whole cloves
  • 1 teaspoon(ish) of both nutmeg and ground cinnamon
  • 3-4 star anise

Directions:

  • Slice citrus very thinly. You can use a serrated knife to help, but a mandoline slicer works best.
  • Turn the oven on its lowest setting and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Lay each slice of fruit out on the baking sheet and place in the oven to dry out. Give yourself several hours! (The key to preserving the fruit for a longer shelf life is making sure they’re completely dried out.
  • Check the fruit every 45-60 minutes and flip them over each time until complete dried.
  • Let cool before putting together with other ingredients.
