It’s the scent season of pumpkin spices, vanilla bean and cinnamon, to make snuggling up at home on fall nights even cozier.
If you want it to infuse your entire home without spending a fortune on scented candles, then there’s just one piece of equipment you need – a crock pot.
When you’re not using the slow cooker for family stews and soups, you can add ingredients like cinnamon sticks, apple peels, orange rinds, cloves, star anise and nutmeg to water and simmer the pot to create a scented mist that evaporates across your home.
If you thought a slow cooker was just for cooking stews and meat then think again! It can be put to use as a powerful tool for home fragrance.
Save orange rinds and apple peel, mix in with cinnamon and star anise for warming fall scents that are fresh and natural as well as long-lasting to create a home that feels extra cozy for fall and winter.
