Ingredients
- 1 fresh lemon or lime
- 2–3 tablespoons coarse salt
- Small plate or bowl
Step 1: Cut the Lemon
Slice the top of the lemon without cutting it completely in half.
Open it slightly like a lid.
Step 2: Add the Salt
Fill the inside with coarse salt.
Some people also add cloves or a few drops of essential oil for extra fragrance.
Step 3: Place in the Room
Set the lemon on a small plate and place it in:

These ingredients create different natural scents for the home.
