Winter Simmer Scent

I learned this trick and I love it!  You can change it up to match your mood/the season/whatever! Since it's Christmas time, I decided to use nutmeg, cinnamon, a shot of lemon juice, and oranges.  Basically what I had on hand, lol.  I'm going to add cranberries next time!

Add around 6 cups of water to your crockpot.  Slice up your orange and drop it in!  I squished mine just a bit to get the juices flowing.  I used whole cinnamon sticks and just smashed them up a bit, then dropped them in.  I grated about 1/2 of a whole nutmeg, then just dropped in the rest of it.  I also added about 1 tbsp lemon juice.  Set your crockpot to high and let it go!  Just make sure to add water if it gets low!
