Instructions
- Wash and cut the fruits into chunks.
- Crush the nutmeg with a mortar and pestle if using whole.
- Combine all ingredients in a large pot. Fill the pot with water until the ingredients are mostly covered.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Let the mixture simmer, with the lid slightly ajar, for at least 2 hours. The longer it simmers, the stronger the scent.
- Stir the mixture occasionally to prevent burning. Add more water as needed to keep the ingredients mostly covered.
Notes
Use a slow cooker for a longer simmer without supervision. For a stronger scent, add more spices or fruit. To make it last longer, simmer it on the lowest setting overnight.
