Carnation and orange freshener

This is one of the most common and effective flavorings you can use.

The citrus of the orange together with the strong smell of cloves will imbue the environment with a warm, sweet and fresh scent. Carnations will help the orange stay longer.

How to prepare?

All you will need is an orange with its skin and a handful of cloves (the more cloves, the stronger the smell).

• Insert the carnations into the orange peel (it is preferable to choose a soft orange so that the carnations pass through easily).
• So that the flavoring can also be part of the decor, you can play with shapes or add details like slashes in the fruit, or small stones or rose petals around it.
• Place it as a centerpiece, in the kitchen or hanging in the cupboard to avoid bad odours.
