Fall Blend Recipe 1
Watch the 30-second video below to learn how to make this simple autumn crockpot blend. Continue reading for full step-by-step instructions.
Ingredients:
– Cinnamon sticks
– Apple peels
– Orange rinds
– Whole cloves
This first recipe is my favorite go-to blend for fall. I save the apple rinds, cores, and orange peels in the fridge or freezer.
Peel the skin off a couple of apples and, if possible, save the core too. Since citrus scents are stronger, you can add as much as you like. I love the uplifting and refreshing smell of citrus, so I add extra.
Add the peels to a small crockpot with water, along with two sticks of cinnamon and a dash of whole cloves. Turn the pot on low and let it warm slowly. Leave the lid off for a stronger scent. This pot can simmer for a couple of days; just add more peels and water if needed after the first day.
