1/2 oz. broken cloves
1/2 oz. crushed gum benzoin
1/2 oz. powdered orris root
1/2 oz. powdered allspice, with a few whole berries
1/2 oz. powdered mace
1/2 oz. whole coriander seeds
1/2 oz. cinnamon stick crushed or cinnamon powder
Lightly mix together the above ingredients to make the
spice mix. Choose a pretty jar with a lid to hold your
potpourri. Into the jar place a layer of dried flower
petals, such as rose, lavender, lemon verbena, or tiny
rose buds. Over each layer sprinkle some of the spice
mix. Continue layering and sprinkling until the jar is
filled. To freshen a room, simply remove the jar's lid.
