Some years ago, Ann Landers (or Abigail Van Buran) gave a receipe in their column for home-made potpourri. I have misplaced the receipe! i recall most of the incrediants, but I think I'm missing one or two ingrediants. Does anyone have this famous receipe?
Here the partial receipe:
fresh Rosemary chopped
fresh Spearmint chopped
whole cloves
whole allspice
cinnamon sticks broken
2 more ingrediants I can't remember
Combine all ingrediants in a bowl, mix well. Heat
enough white viniger to cover mixed ingrediants.
Pour warm viniger over ingrediants and mix well.
Store in a glass container for at least three-four
weeks. To use, put several heaping spoonfuls in a
potpourri pot, cover with water and simmer. It's a
wonderful spicy, wintery fragrance. Great for the
holidays. I use a one gallon glass jar with lid.
Does anyone know the missing two ingrediants???? Any help appreciated. Linda
