Do you smell that? Fall is in the air, my friends!
And if you’re not smelling it, than you’re doing it wrong 😉 Here’s how…
I love using candles to perfume my home. Visit me on any given day and you will find one burning somewhere in my house, but I’ll be the first to admit that it can get expensive having to replace them all the time. If you’re like me and go through a large jar candle in less than a month, then you’ll love this little trick I do, especially for this time of year.
I use a small to medium sized sauce pan and fill it halfway up with water and set it on the stove. Set the burner to a low-medium setting (I have mine on a 2.5-3)
Drop into your warm water cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, a few drops of vanilla extract, orange slices, and my no-so-secret ingredient mulling spice. You can pick mulling spice up at any grocery store, and it’s loaded with intense fall flavor. This particular brand comes in convenient tea bags so I throw two in to the water and let them steep.
It smells incredible and definitely makes me think fall is in the air…
Enjoy xo.
Well then- totally just pinned this! It’s still roasting pigs outside.. low 95- but once it cools way down .. I am so doing this! Thank you!
This sounds really good! Shared on FB! 🙂
Can’t wait for cold weather so I can try this in the steamer on the woodstove.
I’ve done sort of the same thing and love the welcoming scent. Would love to add mulling spices. Are they pricey? And would they be found in the coffee/tea aisle of the grocery?
Thank you!
I believe I found these in the tea area a few years back, but I’ve seen them in the spice area as well since then. I would just check your local grocer and see where they keep it since I’m sure every store is different 🙂
