Sweet and Spicy Smelling Orange & Clove Pomander - Saturday 1st August 2015

You can make an old-fashioned sweet and spicy smelling pomander by inserting cloves (skinny end inwards) into an orange. The orange juice and essential oils, slowly seep out through the cloves emitting a sweet and spicy smell which is appealing. I have heard that cloves inhibit mould as well. A few of these stored in the same space as your out-of-season clothing could help avoid musty smelling clothes. I display a bowl of these orange and clove pomanders in my lounge room where they look quite attractive, while perfuming the room, in a natural way. These pomanders make a simply sweet homemade gift at Christmas and the kids can easily be involved in creating them too!
