Yes I did!! I Made Cucumber Hydrosol With My Vevor Alcohol Distiller 💥
Check out how I modified the Vevor 3 gal alcohol distiller to do a steam distillation. It is surprisingly simple to do, it’s super fun, and I know the hydrosol and essential oils I make are clean and organic.
For an affordable price, I can easily turn my cucumber harvest into hydrosol and essential oil in my kitchen from my organic cucumber harvest.
Not only that, I can use essential oils and hydrosols in other recipes. For example, hydrosols can be used as refreshing sprays and simple syrups.
Cucumber hydrosol is loaded with nutrients like potassium, magnesium, vitamins A, B, & C, biotin, and enzymes that give it properties to benefit our skin:
•Vitamin C and caffeic acid help reduce water loss, inflamed
and/or irritated skin.
•Silica helps to lighten dark circles and spots on our skin.
•Flavanoids, tannins & vitamin C prevent free radicals, reduces
signs of aging and protect skin from the sun.
•Potassium, sulfate, and vitamins A & C soothe sunburns.
•Enzyme erepsin provides skin softening properties.

Check out how I modified the Vevor 3 gal alcohol distiller to do a steam distillation. It is surprisingly simple to do, it’s super fun, and I know the hydrosol and essential oils I make are clean and organic. I like this still not only for the price, but because of the size. I stalled for years on making my own hydrosols and essential oils because the stills out there were hundreds of dollars f...

Continued from germinating by the fire, these peppers are healthy and ready to transplant. With my favorite Chinese spoon, I carefully transplant 77 seedlings into 4" pots.
