One of my favorite things about this time of year is the smell of my mother’s stovetop potpourri. It isn’t Christmas time until I have it simmering on the stove. Inspired by my favorite Christmas scent I created an iced tea worthy of the Christmas season – Christmas Iced Tea.

Like mom’s stovetop potpourri, this Christmas Iced Tea is simple to make and in case you hadn’t guessed – it smells ah-mazing.
