Instructions
- Prepare the Potpourri: Using a medium saucepan, fill it halfway with water. Add the orange slices, fresh cranberries, cinnamon stick, and ground nutmeg to the water.
- Simmer the Mixture: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then immediately reduce the heat to low to let it simmer gently. This allows the aromas to infuse your home.
- Maintain Water Level: Throughout the day, check the saucepan occasionally and add more water as needed to prevent the mixture from burning or drying out.
- Safety Precaution: Always turn off the potpourri simmering on the stovetop when leaving home to ensure safety.

- Customize the potpourri by adding other spices like cloves or star anise if desired.
