1-2 vanilla beans, cut into 1" pieces

1/2 cup calamus root

Simmering jar potpourri fills the home with fragrant delights. Mix ingredients and add oils the same as for jar potpourri. Cure a minimum of 2 weeks.
For stove top, add 2 to 3 tablespoons potpourri to boiling water in 2 quart stainless steel saucepan, reduce heat and simmer uncovered on stovetop. For simmer-pot add 1 tablespoon to hot water. Country kitchen Potpourri can simmer for hours, but be sure to check water levels and add warm tap water as needed. Discard mixture after use.
Note: If you are looking for high-quality therapeutic grade essential oils, I highly recommend Young Living. I am simply in love with their products, they are a part of nearly every facet of my life.
