Ingredients
Fresh Evergreen
Using fresh evergreen is a must for this Christmas air freshener recipe. Not only does it add a beautiful touch of greenery to your home decor, but it also provides a refreshing and invigorating scent. You can use any type of evergreen, such as pine, fir, or spruce, depending on your preference. Make sure to choose branches with a strong scent for a more potent air freshener.
Citrus Fruits
Citrus fruits, such as oranges, lemons, and limes, are an essential ingredient in this recipe. They add a burst of freshness and a hint of sweetness to the air freshener. You can use any type of citrus fruit you have on hand, or even a combination of different fruits for a more complex scent.
Cinnamon Sticks
Cinnamon is a staple scent of the holiday season and adds a warm and spicy aroma to the air freshener. You can use either whole cinnamon sticks or ground cinnamon for this recipe. If using whole sticks, make sure to break them into smaller pieces so that they can release their scent more easily.
Vanilla Extract
Vanilla extract is another popular holiday scent and adds a touch of sweetness to the air freshener. It also helps to balance out the stronger scents of the evergreen and citrus fruits. Make sure to use pure vanilla extract for the best results.
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the ingredients
Gather all the ingredients and make sure the evergreen branches are trimmed and the fruits are sliced. This will make it easier to combine the ingredients in the air freshener.
Step 2: Combine the ingredients
In a large pot, combine the evergreen, citrus fruits, cinnamon sticks, and vanilla extract. Add enough water to cover the ingredients and bring to a boil.
Step 3: Simmer
Once the mixture comes to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer and let it cook for about an hour. This will allow the scents to infuse into the water and create a fragrant steam that will fill your home.
Step 4: Let it cool
After an hour, turn off the heat and let the mixture cool for a few minutes.
Step 5: Transfer to a jar
Using a strainer, separate the liquid from the solid ingredients and transfer the liquid to a jar. You can discard the solid ingredients or use them as potpourri.
Step 6: Add essential oils (optional)
If you want a stronger scent, you can add a few drops of your favorite essential oils to the jar and mix well.
Step 7: Use and store
You can use your Christmas air freshener immediately or store it in the fridge for later use. Simply heat it up on the stove whenever you want to fill your home with the festive scents.
By following this simple recipe, you'll have a professional and natural Christmas air freshener that will make your home smell like a winter wonderland. Experiment with different scents and ingredients to create your perfect holiday blend. Happy holidays!
