Place these in a jar, seal this and then store for 6-8 weeks. Shake it daily to ensure the fragrance permeates all the components. A basic recipe would consist of a couple of cups of rose petals, lavender and marigolds with one tablespoon of ground cinnamon and orrisroot with perhaps four drops of lavender oil. With moist potpourri alternate layers of partially dried flower petals with coarse sea salt. Stir this mixture daily and add more petals as they become available.
