Potpourri for Your Cold

Well...It's here.  Cold/Flu Season.  Unfortunately, I have had a bad case of the cold...  A great way to make your home smell great and also clear your nose...

Mint and Eucalyptus Potpourri:

Put 3-4 cups of water in a pot, add your eucalyptus and mint and bring to a simmer.  I added fresh sprigs from my garden.   As the water begins to simmer, lean over and inhale the steam.  It clears your nasal passages, soothes your throat, and smells divine.

Remember that with all potpourris, you can continue to add water as it evaporates, and the same goes with your herbs...  Just add as you like.
