don't remember where I found this one


List of Ingredients

sew - Aroma Hot Pads for Food

2, 8 inch pieces cloth
1/2 crushed cinnamon sticks
1 teaspoon crushed cloves
1 cup raw rice

Sew cloth, right sides together, on 3 sides,
leaving the other side for stuffing. Turn
right sides out.
Mix cinnamon and cloves with uncooked rice.
Pour into the cloth bag and sew closed.

Use as a hot pad.
The scent comes out when a hot dish is
placed on the mat.

Note:
You can substitute herbs or herbal teas
for the spices.

If you want to be more fancy, carefully sew
seams across the pad, so you end up with a
crisscross or chessboard pattern.
This would also make the pad less floppy and
easier to handle/use.
