If, like me, you’re not a candle person but still love the smells of Christmas, try this idea for yourself. Bring a cup or so of water and a heavy half cup of mulling spices to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add a cinnamon stick or orange slices if you like. Soon your entire home will be fragrant with layers of allspice, cloves and cinnamon. Walk outside for a moment and when you return the scent will be that much more powerful. Just be sure to set a timer to remind yourself to add more water throughout the night. After all, no one wants a burnt pan for Christmas.
I love this smell too. Now I will have to pick some up at Trader Joes which I happen to be going to today. Love all your vacation pictures too!
I love mulling spice, although I tried to make mulled one once and ruined it
