Air Freshener

 

Recipe submitted By: Robyn

Ingredients
~~~~~~~~
Gel Air Freshener
2 cups distilled water, divided
Essential oil/fragrance of your choice.
4 envelopes Knox gelatin
Food coloring (optional)

Directions
~~~~~~~~
Heat 1 cup of water almost to a boil. Add the gelatine and stir
until dissolved. Remove from heat and add remaining cup of distilled
water, 10 to 20 drops of oil/fragrance and food coloring if desired.

You can replace food coloring and oil/fragrance with premade liquid
potpourri (available at most craft stores, candle shops, etc.). Just
make sure it's the concentrated kind or it won't retain its smell.
The procedure would be the same. Heat 1 cup of the liquid potpourri,
almost to a boil. Stir in 4 envelopes Knox gelatine until dissolved.
Then stir in 1 cup cool liquid potpourri.

Pour the mixture into clean baby food jars or other containers and
set at room temperature overnight until "set." You can also save
store-bought containers which contained fragrance gel and use those.

NOTE:  You can place the jars in the refrigerator if you need them
to set more quickly, but be aware that the smell will permeate the
fridge.

For gift giving, you can decorate the baby food jars by wrapping
with material, or gluing on wallpaper, stickers, wrapping paper, etc.

To use, place the jar on the stovetop (not directly on the burner!)
while cooking, heat in a potpourri burner, or simply set out on a
table and enjoy the aroma.
