Equipment
- Medium Saucepan
Ingredients
- 4 cups water enough to fill the saucepan
- 2 sticks cinnamon preferably cinnamon sticks for a warm infusion
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract add more for a stronger vanilla scent, if desired
Instructions
- Fill a medium saucepan with water and place it on the stove over medium heat.
- Add the cinnamon sticks to the water, ensuring they are submerged slightly as the water heats.
- Bring the water to a gentle simmer, watching for small bubbles to form and steam to start rising.
- Stir in the vanilla extract, releasing a sweet, fragrant aroma as it mixes into the simmering water.
- Reduce the heat to low, allowing the mixture to continue simmering gently without boiling away too much water.
- Observe bubbles rising from the water, and notice the steam filling the room with a warm, inviting scent.
- Occasionally, gently stir the mixture to help release the scents fully and keep the cinnamon infusing evenly.
- Replenish with hot water if the level gets too low to prevent burning or burning smell; continue simmering for about 15-20 minutes.
- Once your home is filled with a cozy vanilla cinnamon aroma, turn off the heat and carefully remove the cinnamon sticks.
- Pour the fragrant mixture into a decorative bowl or leave it on the stove to continue emitting scent as long as you wish.
- Enjoy your natural, homemade air freshener that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere in your home.
