Festive Citrus & Spice Room Scents

Creating room scents using your Tefal Dual Drawer Easy Fry is a fantastic way to fill your home with festive aromas. Here’s a simple recipe for making a Christmas-themed room scent blend:

💖 1 large orange, sliced

💖 1 lemon, sliced

💖 2-3 cinnamon sticks

💖 1-2 tablespoons of whole cloves

💖 1-2 tablespoons of dried rosemary or fresh sprigs

💖 1-2 tablespoons of vanilla extract (optional)

💖 Water

Prepare the Ingredients:

Slice the orange and lemon into thin rounds.

If you’re using fresh rosemary, rinse and pat dry.

Preheat the Air Fryer:

Preheat your Tefal Easy Fry to 70°C (160°F). This will help to gently heat and release the fragrances from the ingredients.

Arrange the Ingredients:

Place the orange and lemon slices in the air fryer basket. You can also place the cinnamon sticks, cloves, and rosemary on top of the fruit slices.

If using vanilla extract, add it to the mix. For the air fryer, it’s best to use a heatproof dish or bowl to contain the ingredients and liquids.

Add Water:

Pour a small amount of water into the dish or bowl with the ingredients. This will help to release the scents into the air and prevent the ingredients from burning.

Set the Air Fryer:

Set the air fryer to 30 minutes. The goal is to gently heat the ingredients, releasing their scents without cooking them. You may need to check periodically and add more water if it evaporates too quickly.

Enjoy the Scents:

As the mixture heats up, your home will start to fill with the delightful aroma of Christmas. You can use this method throughout the holiday season to keep your home smelling festive.

Check Regularly: Keep an eye on the ingredients to ensure they don’t burn. The air fryer should be set to a low temperature to gently heat and diffuse the scents.

Refill Water: If the water evaporates during the process, carefully add more hot water to maintain the scent release.

Reuse: You can reuse the same mixture a few times. Just add more water as needed and reheat in the air fryer.

Spicy Scent: Add a few star anise or a pinch of ground nutmeg for a spicier aroma.

Herbal Touch: Substitute rosemary with other herbs like thyme or sage for different fragrance profiles.

Tefal Easy Fry allows you to enjoy the benefits of homemade scents while saving time and energy. Embrace this easy and creative method to make your space more inviting and cosy this Christmas!
