Manual background POTPOURRI

Potpourri is a blend of flowers, herbs, essential oils, spices, and a fixative.

Use whole dried flower petals, heads, leaves, and buds. Almost any herb and spice can also be added. Dried roses are a popular scent but lilacs, lavender and violets also make good additions. Dried orange, lemon, lime, tangerine, and grapefruit peel are other flavors that can enhance potpourris. Be careful that one scent does not overpower the main one.

Remove petals and herbs from their stems. Dry in a single layer on mesh tray insert or fruit leather sheets. Dry until brittle, which may take from 2-10 hours. Store different herbs, flowers, etc. in different containers until ready to be mixed. Potpourris can be placed in cloth bags to make sachets.
