ADVERTISEMENT

Peels from 1-2 fresh oranges
1 tablespoon whole cloves
2-3 cups water
Instructions:

Place the orange peels and cloves in a pot.
Add water and bring to a gentle boil.
Lower the heat and let it simmer for 15-30 minutes.
Enjoy the natural fragrance filling your home!
Optional: Add cinnamon sticks or a splash of vanilla for extra aroma.

Bonus Uses:
Once cooled, you can strain the mixture and use it as a natural countertop cleaner (thanks to the citrus oils).
Reheat the pot for a second round of fragrance throughout the day.
Final Thought:
This simple tradition is more than just a nice smell — it’s a natural, health-boosting ritual straight from our grandmothers’ wisdom. Next time you peel an orange, don’t throw away the peels… turn them into a comforting, effective remedy that makes your home feel warm and refreshed!
