Sweat- pourri ( pronunciation: popuri) this with language French disorderly blend. IN this case this
a mixture of various spices, fruits and twigs, the aromas of which we associate with holidays. This aromatic bigos its purpose is to decorate the room and give it a nice fragrance.
We can make pot-pourri dried (from dried flowers, bark, spices, herbs).
Dried flowers and fragments of plants, characterized by an attractive scent, can be placed in bags and stored in the wardrobe for clothes. gone aroma. However, I am afraid that drought alone is not enough to do so the smell lingered. In commercial pouches for wardrobes the elements of the dried fruit are probably getting wet in fragrances (rather, they are not expensive natural oils ethereal), thanks to which the aroma lasts longer. The same applies to decorative dried material for bowls they decorate our homes.
Pot-pourri can also be made "wet" which makes it smell it lasts longer. We select the ingredients according to our own tastes and preferences. If the festive version is known, we can choose from: spices, citrus and other fruits, aromatic pine shoots. Put the selected ingredients into a pot, pour water over it and cook over low heat for about 4-5 hours (depending on the selected ingredients), extracting their aromas. Let the prepared mixture stand for about 12 hours so that all the ingredients "give up" their aromas. After straining, pour it into glass jars, open it when you want to "release the fragrance". We can use them in popular tea lights.
