Ingredients

  • 3-5 dried orange slices
  • 5 allspice berries
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 inch piece of dried or crystallized ginger
  • A sprig of juniper, pine, or rosemary

Instructions

  • Add everything to a small saucepan, cover with water, bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat so it bubbles gently. Keep an eye on the water level and top it off as needed.

To Package as a Gift

  • Layer the dried oranges in a jar and add the spices and pine/juniper sprig (skip using fresh rosemary for gifts—it could go bad before it’s used).
  • Make a little tag with instructions and tie it all together with some baker's or jute twine.
