It’s no secret that we all have those panic moments where our house stinks and we need a quick solution to make it smell great.

Homemade Potpourri is the answer! And I don’t know about you, but I love the scent of rosemarry and lemon together.

That is why this Homemade Lemon Rosemary Potpourri is the perfect addition to your house. It is even great to put on the stove before a house showing if you’re selling your home.

Plus, it makes the perfect holiday gift. Throw the ingredients (besides the water) in a large jar with a lid and make a cute little tag for gift giving.

Homemade Lemon Rosemary Potpourri ingredients

Is this homemade potpourri edible?

Technically, yes. It is made with all edible ingredients but it may not taste very good.

Can I put the ingredients in a jar for gifting?

Yes. You can totally put ingredients into a jar. However, I recommend not putting the water in a jar and try using dried rosemary unless you plan to give it as a gift within 24-48 hours of using fresh rosemary.
