Homemade Holiday Potpourri

I love my home smelling like cinnamon and other good spices. Not edible, but this is a great little potpourri mixture I have simmering on the stove:

3 bay leaves
5 cinnamon sticks
2-3 slices of orange
2-3 slices of lemon
1/4 c whole cloves
1 quart water (or more to add as water boils off)

Bring mixture to a boil, then simmer. I'll use the same mixture for a week but maybe you could use longer. Refrigerate when not using to maintain freshness.
