Slice the orange and lemon into thin rounds.
Cutting the citrus into thin slices helps release more aroma into the simmer pot.
Place the citrus slices, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and bay leaves into a saucepan.
Arrange the ingredients evenly in the pan for a balanced release of aromas.
Fill the saucepan with water until the ingredients are submerged.
Use warm water to speed up the release of the scents.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over low heat.
Keep the heat low to prevent the water from evaporating too quickly.
Add more water as needed throughout the day to maintain the aroma.
Check the water level periodically to ensure the ingredients don't burn.
