Ingredients

3 cinnamon sticks
2 dried orange slices
3 dried rosemary sprigs
2 anise stars
10 whole cloves
4 whole allspice berries

Instructions

Place herbs and spices in a glass jar or other container, tie with a pretty ribbon.
When ready to use, place contents in a small saucepan and add 2 cups water. Simmer on low heat, making sure the water doesn’t dry out.
It can also be heated in a crock pot or slow cooker on low, uncovered. If you have a large crock pot, you may wish to add more water to the pot so it doesn’t dry out.

Notes

Always check on the pot to make sure there’s enough water, and never leave it unattended.
