Firstly, I peeled the lemon until I have a few strips of lemon skin.
The Grass

Secondly, I used the pestle to crush the base of the lemon grass. Then, I removed the upper part with a knife.
The Preparation

Next, I gathered the lemon peels and a part of crushed lemon grass in a small saucer, and removed all unrelated objects such as the cutting board, the peeler, the knife, and the pestle.
The Fruit Punch

Then, I poured the lukewarm water into the humidifier reservoir. Next, I inserted the lemon peels and the crushed lemon grass. The aroma of the lemon and the grass will diffuse in the water.
The Therapy

Lastly, I switch on the humidifier, and the room starts to smell nicer. I'm calm and relax.
I recommend you should try...
