Freshen up your home this week with this lovely Lemon Stovetop Potpourri!

Lemon Stovetop Potpourri Recipe

Could your home use a little burst of Spring in the atmosphere? This beautiful Lemon Rosemary Vanilla Stove Top Potpourri is such a cheerful Springtime or Summer scent!

Simply add sliced Lemons, Vanilla Extract, and Rosemary sprigs from the garden to a pot with water, and you’ve got yourself a fun natural air freshener to simmer on the stove all day long!

Your home will smell AMAZING, and it may even remind you of the lovely Pottery Barn and Williams Sonoma store scent you love!

The fresh, clean scent may even motivate you to tackle all of that Spring Cleaning you’ve been putting off? Or maybe today is a better day to curl up on the couch and read a book? The choice is yours as you enjoy your stovetop potpourri wafting through your home.

So are you ready to make your home smell seriously yummy? Here’s how to make your own beautiful aroma…

Lemon Stovetop Potpourri Recipe

How Long Does Stove Top Potpourri Last?

If you’ve been wondering… can you reuse stovetop potpourri? The answer is… YES! It can actually last for 2 days!

At the end of the day, just transfer lemon slices and rosemary sprigs to a large mason jar with some water and place in the refrigerator.  Then the next day, pour back into your sauce pan, add water to get the level back up to 3 cups, add in more Vanilla, and simmer away!

What You’ll Need:

  • 4 cups HOT Water
  • 2 medium Lemons, sliced
  • 4 sprigs Fresh Rosemary {homegrown will have the strongest scent}
  • 3 tbsp. Vanilla Extract {Imitation Vanilla actually works BEST for this, and will give off a much stronger vanilla scent} 🙂

How to Make Stovetop Potpourri with Citrus:

  1. Bring to a gentle boil, then immediately turn heat down and let it simmer on LOW.
  2. This Stovetop Potpourri is easily customizable. For a stronger scent, just add more ingredients.
  3. As the water evaporates, just add more water as necessary.
  4. Once you’re done simmering, you can set the ingredients and pot aside, and use it again as a simmering air freshener the next day!

    One of my favorite scent combinations, Heidi! I swear this stuff smells so good no matter what the season. This is a great time of year to use stovetop potpourri especially if you have allergies. Your home still has a fresh scent but without all the stuffies air fresheners can bring about. I’ll be making this today! Hugs, CoCo
