The scent of the Christmas holidays can invade your home with your help. With the help of special aromatic mixtures that you can make yourself, your home will smell like Christmas.
The traditional Christmas aromatic mixtures, which have been used for centuries for the fragrance of the home, contain the so-called winter warming spices.
These are cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, cocoa, citrus fruits. Beautifully arrange ginger root, a few cloves, a whole nutmeg, cinnamon sticks.
The composition can welcome your guests from the corridor. To maintain a lasting aroma from time to time the composition should be sprayed with aromatic oil - for example orange.
Pomanders are a centuries-old aromatic tradition throughout Europe. The name of these fragrant balls, made of oranges and cloves, comes from a French word for fragrant amber balls, popular during the Renaissance.
Over time, the word was used for round elegant boxes of gold, silver and ivory, which stored ambergris and other aromatic substances.
To make a pomander, tie a beautifully bright ribbon around an orange. Cross the ribbon the way gifts are tied. Fill the empty spaces with cloves by sticking them with their sharp end in the bark.
You should constantly soak up the leaking juice with a napkin so that the strips do not get dirty. You can make letters or shapes with the help of carnations.
As they dry, the oranges will shrink and emit a wonderful aroma. You need to turn them from time to time to dry evenly. Dried, they can be hung on the Christmas tree.
After the Christmas holidays, place the pomanders in a box with an airtight lid, sprinkle them with spices and leave them for two weeks to restore their aroma. Then decorate with them the fragrant composition of spices.
