I love to do little things around the house to make it feel like spring. Luckily, I have a huge grapefruit tree in my backyard just waiting for me to pick them! So a stovetop potpourri with grapefruit and lavender came to mind. It’s such a fresh + fruit forward fragrance making it perfect for springtime. This easy recipe is sure to make your home smell good!

I always make my stovetop potpourri in my Le Creuset cookware because it’s easy to clean up and looks beautiful when it’s not in use!

Directions:

In a saucepan, combine 3 cups of water, 3 grapefruits (sliced), 4-5 sprigs of lavender and 2 tablespoons vanilla extract. Bring the water to a boil. Then let simmer.

I let it simmer for about 45 minutes and my house smelled great.

P.S. I’m also giving a tour of my kitchen! I’m sharing all of my sources for lighting, cabinetry, plumbing fixtures and hardware.
