3 bay leaves
1/2 tsp. allspice
1 large cinnamon stick
1/2 tsp. orange essential oil
but I remember reading that you can use orage peel instead of orange EO. So I used about a 2cm by 1 cm slither of orange peel instad.
I only made a half batch because I didn't have enough witch hazel and I just used ordinary bay leaves from the grocery store. It'll be interesting to see what it smells and feels like in another week or so when it's ready but I'll be sure to let you know how satisfied or dissatisfied I am when it's done.
