Fill a pot with water: Start by filling a small pot with about two to three cups of water.
Add three bay leaves: Drop the dried bay leaves into the water. For added fragrance, you can also toss in other ingredients like cinnamon sticks, cloves, or slices of lemon.
Simmer on low heat: Turn the stove to low heat and allow the water to simmer. As the water heats up, it will begin to release the scent of the bay leaves into the air, filling your home with a natural and subtle fragrance.
Enjoy the lasting aroma: You can let the pot simmer for as long as you like, adding more water as needed. This method not only scents your home but also adds a bit of moisture to the air, which can be especially beneficial during dry seasons.
Simmering bay leaves is a great way to keep your home smelling fresh for several hours without having to burn anything. Plus, it’s an excellent way to experiment with different scent combinations by adding various herbs, spices, or citrus fruits to the mix.
