Want to try it? Nothing could be simpler. Simply slice a lemon into thick slices and plunge them into a saucepan filled with water. Add a nice sprig of fresh rosemary ( or dried if that’s all you have ), bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer gently. From the first few minutes, the magic happens: the scents of lemon and rosemary rise, fill the kitchen, and even spread into other rooms.
Pro tip: As soon as the water level drops, add a little more water to prolong the diffusion. You can also add a drop of vanilla extract or a few cloves to personalize your homemade scent.
A simple habit to adopt all year round
This gentle ritual can become a reflex after each cooking with a strong odor ( fried food, onions, cabbage, etc. ), or simply to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It is ideal in winter when the airing is less, or after a big clean to perfect the feeling of freshness. And the icing on the cake: it is safe for children or animals , unlike many classic sprays. As such, small gestures can have a big impact.
