| I have a lot of dried lemon scented geranium leaves, which I would like to use in a potpourri. Also nutmeg, rose and oak. I hope someone would post a recipe for any of these. I know they are used this way but need some direction. |

One cup (240 ml) lemon-scented herbs Two cups (475 ml) rose petals One cup (240 ml) Oakmoss One cup (240 ml) Larkspur petals One cup (240 ml) Rosemary leaves A few small spruce or fir cones. For a sharper fragrance, mix 50 drops Rose pelargonium oil with 6 tablespoonfuls (40ml)orris root (cut and sifted and add this mixture to the potpourri. Orris root is a fixative, a substance that helps the fragrances last longer. |
