Delicious Mint and Cinnamon Pot-Pourri
1/2 pint cinnamon pieces
1/2 pint mint leaves, crumbled
2 tbsp cinnamon/orris mixture
1 tbsp apple/orris mixture
1/2 tbsp mint/orris mixture
Use a large mixing bowl and mix together all the ingredients. As these recipes are mainly destined for use in sachets, you should break the cinnamon pieces up fairly small. Having mixed it well, turn the mixture into a large jar or polythene bag and seal. Put it away for two to four weeks, shaking it regularly to ensure even distribution of the oil mixtures. Check the smell after two weeks; if the aroma seems satisfactory you can use it, but if not, you should wait another couple of weeks. If you are still not happy with the smell, try adding other orris root/oil mixes until you like the balance of the fragrance.
