(all material is dried)

2 cups lemon verbena leaves
2 cups lemon balm leaves
2 cups lemon mint (monarda citridora) leaves and flowers
cup lemongrass (optional) cut in 2�?pieces
1 cup lemon scented geranium leaves
1/2 cup lemon peel, cut into thin ribbons or strips
1 tsp. lemon esssential oil
2 - 3 Tablespoons chopped orris root or other fixative material

As with all potpourri crafting, these measurements are only guidelines.

Use whatever amounts of lemon-scented herbs you have to make up about 8 cups of dried ‘lemon�?material.

Mix the lemon oil with the chopped orris root and add to the dried leaves.

A few cloves or cinnamon stick pieces would be a nice addition, or some dried rosebuds and petals.

Use whatever strikes your fancy.

Store in a large glass jar or zip lock bags in a cool dark place for a week or two to allow fragrances to blend, then enjoy in sachets, bowls, or packed into jars tied with a pretty ribbon for special gifts.
