How To Build It
First of all you need to put about half of the water in a glass and immerse a slice of half cut into four parts and some orange peel and then add two slices of lemon cut into rounds, some cloves , cinnamon and of star anise .
A little cooking oil should be added to this and we will see that the water inside will tend to rise and at this point we can add essential oil of any type, although lavender oil is recommended .
Once this is done, we take a plastic cup and cut the edges vertically, leaving the bottom intact, and pierce it in the center, inserting a piece of string , tying a knot towards the outside.
The bottom of the glass with the string must be inserted inside and pushed until the water reaches the edge and the string remains outside the mixture for a long time to be able to light it later .
In this way, we will obtain a candle that will tend to last for a very long time and which will perfume our entire house and its function could even last for a whole month.
You just have to be careful not to let the string go into the water and if this happens, just replace the bottom of the glass and the string, and our scented candle will last a long time.
This operation can be carried out by using another type of fruit or spices inside the glass depending on the scent we want to have, being careful not to use products that can decompose after a few days.
