Ingredients

1 small apple, made into dried apple slices (see below)
1 cup carnation fresh edible flower, pink and red,dried
cinnamon stick, broken into small pieces
2 teaspoons nutmeg
1 1/2 tablespoons whole cloves
1 tablespoon orange zest
3 drops vanilla fragrance oil (at your craft store)

Preparation

Dried Apple Slices: Preheat your oven to 150 degrees.
Slice the unpeeled apple in very thin slices and lay in a single layer on a baking sheet sprayed lightly with vegetable oil spray and bake for 30 minutes.
You can sprinkle a little cinnamon on top to make these cinnamon dried apples.
Let the dried apple cool for about ten minutes before adding to the other ingredients.
In a lidded glass jar (a Mason jar is perfect) combine all of the ingredients of the potpourri mixture, and gently combine with a wooden spoon.
Cover tightly.
This mixture will keep for months.
To use, place about a tablespoon into 2 cups of boiling water.
Turn down the heat and let the mixture simmer gently to release all of the wonderful apple pie scent!
