32 oz. of water
1 orange (little over ripe) (makes it juicier)
Pineapple juice (I use juice from a 20 oz can of pineapple chunks)
2 bay Leaves
1 1/2 tablespoons whole cloves
2 cinnamon sticks
dash nutmeg
(can add 1 apple - quartered)

Put the 32 oz. of water in pot. Cut the orange in half, squeeze the juice into the pot, then cut rest of orange into pieces -and toss in. Then add quartered apple (if using), then pineapple juice, bay leaves, whole cloves, cinnamon sticks and nutmeg.....bring to boil - over medium heat. Boil for approx. 15 minutes - can reduce heat and continue to boil or remove from heat and allow to come to room temperature. I currently have a portion of this in a small potpourri liquid container and it works as great as any of the oils.

I will be using this during the entire Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays.... My house smells heavenly. This alone - already has me in the Holiday spirit and all I was doing was trying to create a wonderful Holiday smell.
