Tips on Living 'Green' : "Green" Potpourri
Poziom:
Temat: Życie codzienne
Hi, Nili Nathan here with Great Living TV.
I love to make natural room fresheners and
one of my favorite things to do is to make
a green natural potpourri. It's so simple
and easy, I'm going to show you how to do
it. I use a brown bag, you can always use
a jar or a cannister with a lid but a brown
bag works just as good. First you get your
flowers. These are dry passion flowers that
I have right here. Just take about a handful.
Put that in the bag. Next I use hibiscus flowers.
These are very pretty and lovely, let me show
you, very colorful. My theme in this potpourri
is a flower and fruity scent, that's what
I'm going for. Sometimes you never know what
you're going to get. Then you need a fixative
to kind of bind all of the scents together.
I use orris root. You can find these ingredients
in a natural herb store.
Now, my orange peel. This is very yummy. Orange
helps to clean the air and it also has an
uplifting scent. A
few juniper berries. And just a touch of sandalwood,
this is red sandalwood, I like it for the
texture and I love this scent. Now what I'm
going to do is add my essential oil. So you
pick your essential oil based on the prominent
scent you want so if you want a flowery scent,
then you pick a flowery essential oil. Since
I'm going for a fruity flower, I'm going to
use the essential oil of orange to help those
dry orange peels in there even more. So you
want to put about eight to ten drops in. And
that's it, close it up, give it a good shake,
store it in a cool dry place. The longer it
ages, the better it will be. A couple weeks,
six weeks is even better but if you're throwing
a dinner party or you're having company come
over, you can use it right away, I always
do. Oh, you're wondering what these are, dry
pomegranate's, aren't they pretty? I just
took a pomegranate, it was nice and fresh,
I sliced it up, I put it on my window sill
for about a week and let the sun dry it out
naturally, that's all I did. And it's so decorative.
Ah, this is smelling really good. Pour that
in a bowl, look at how pretty my babies, isn't
that nice? Wow, so cool, it's going to look
really pretty with the pomegranate's tossed
in there and you know what, then you can make
your adjustments. Ah, this is great, for example,
I want a little more of the sandalwood so
I'll just decorate it on top like that, isn't
that pretty? How fun is that? Okay, you go
bye bye, and there you go, there's your natural
green potpourri that will naturally freshen
your home.
