@@onelittlelamb4030 I'd actually say a freezer might be better, but its because oil and water don't mix, the water will freeze and separate from the oil, so you end up with a purer quality of oil. People do the same thing with alcohol to separate out the water and make the alcohol stronger.
Lavender is my absolute favorite smell and I'm a 19 year old dude, it's just a big smell from my childhood. When I was in Washington state I would always pick lavender around the house and put it in my room 🤣
Hi there! Really enjoyed the video! I just wanted to comment and provide some advice to others out there that aren’t super familiar with the Chemistry. The apparatus being used in the video is basically a more ornate-looking steam distillation set up but the principle of steam distillation remains the same. If you don’t have the money to spend on the apparatus in the video, but you’d still like to distill your own essential oil, you could look into getting lab glassware for steam distillation (e.g. condenser column, round-bottom or Erlenmeyer flask, tubing, a receiving flask, and a dean-stark trap for easier separation of the oil and hydrosol). Glassware still isn’t cheap but, overall, it’s a cheaper option than the set-up in the video and it allows for other kinds of distillation as well other than just steam distillation. Hope this is helpful!
@@TheLawrenceGardenFarm Wow, expensive Lil bugger. I'm assuming it's high quality? Love to get one if your highly recommending it. I've always wanted one and now it's time? Love love love Lavender. Have you ever tried Calendula Sav with Lavender? Going to make some this spring/summer. My mom always put Sav on me for burns and scratches but it smelt so icky. A lil dab of lavender would have been so calming on those boo boos.🥰 Happy gardening & Thank you for sharing.
I love the process! We can take care of the water since it is a natural resource and the most precious because without it there is no life. All that water used to rinse can be used to water plants! As well as the water to cool the temperature in the process; it can be collected in a bowl, pitcher or any other thing you want to use and then use it since it is clean, or to water plants also, or rinse another thing or to clean the floor, or something!
21 and I just started living life. I've been thinking about being as natural as possible and it's made me realize how much I just didn't learn while growing up. Things that are actually important when it comes to living. Got into this because I'm interested in herbal medicine. I read about how lavender, rosemary and a few other plants can be used as painkillers. I want my own garden eventually. Once I have the space because I still am living with my parents.
Good for you! You are focusing on the right things at the perfect time in your life. More people are becoming interested in natural medicine (functional medicine) to keep themselves healthy and find the cause of the problem when they get sick rather than just treating the symptoms. Best wishes to you on your journey. Look for Naturopathic training and doctors in your area, they can help guide you.
Ten years ago home made essential oils were almost unheard of. Now everyone can do it. I spent a fortune on Young Living products. Like the shirt. I consider Sasquatch to be an ally.
I love watching others around me coming into the knowledge of natural healing. They’ve been looking at me like i’m nuts for the past ten years. I guess all it takes is tiktok vids for them and a little barbara o’neill 😂 Hey, whatever works, as long as they wake up to the knowledge. I love it. And yes! Sasquatch! That’s probably the other part of why people think i’m crazy. Big Believer of that and many things beyond. But i’ll leave it at that😂
@TheLawrenceGardenFarm people used to think I was a hippie for being into natural healing, crystals, and esoteric teachings as well! But more and more people are waking up to this is how it should be! Mother Earth has everything we need! Not man!
I was looking for a video about alcohol distillation from fruits, however, instead I found your video about essential oil distillation. Thanks for sharing your experience. I bought 10 ml of lavender and oregano oil in Greece and paid a lot of money for these two small bottles. Now I understand, how precious is each gram of essential oil.
Ich finde: Exakt SO sollten Tutorials sein: konzis erklärt, sehr symphatisch "rübergebracht", mit erkennbarer innerer Anteilnahme, daher mit ansteckender Begeisterung, einfach prima, Chapeau! - I think that's exactly how tutorials should be like: concisely explained, very likeable "delivered across", with recognizable inner sympathy, therefore with contagious enthusiasm, just great, chapeau!
If you don't mind, I have a couple suggestions. One is an electric heating coil so you don't have to have your stovetop running for 3 hours, though you might need to figure out a setup that works for you. Another is having a large container for water (around 1-200L should be fine) with your pump at the bottom to save on water long term. My last suggestion is having a little bit of tubing going from the still outlet to your little separator there instead of it dripping out and into a funnel. Saves some splashing and costs nothing. I'd also suggest drying your herbs before extraction, you should get a little more oil out I'm fairly certain. I enjoyed the video!
@jk2782 Thank you so much for the advice! I was wondering if you had any insight into the effectiveness between air drying, dehydrating, and freeze drying? Would one produce more oil or be more beneficial than another? I am considering investing in a freeze dryer and this would be one of the potential uses but I have read some herbs are recommended to be slightly heat treated with a process like dehydrating in the oven to coax more of the properties out. Would appreciate your thoughts!
@@christinemina6449 from my experience, air drying just takes longer than dehydrating. There are some exceptions, seeds done in the dehydrator might not be viable seeds because they heat up too much for example, but for oils, much of a muchness. A freeze dryer though, I don't have because they are a bit pricey for my budget. I'm sure there's someone out there who has done the research.
That is honestly the best setup I've seen available on Amazon. I am just getting into this and other herbal remedies such as tinctures, lotions, aroma therapy. I never thought about collecting the hydrosol. Thank you so much for sharing!
Casey, this was very enlightening! I had never even thought about how the oil was extracted from lavender, and I hadn't heard the term hydrosol until now. Thank you! ~Margie😍
I Purchased my first hydrosol a couple of years ago from an organic company. Rose hydrosol. Benedetta. I love that it came in a dark brown bottle. I used it as a post-shower spray and let it dry on my face and neck.
Hi - loved your video! As a FYI, pipette is pronounced pie-pet, with the accent on the 2nd syllable (piePET)...and, as a safety comment - NEVER turn off your cooling water until well after your heat source is turned off...(my lab assistant did that to me, and we had a nice explosion! :-)
Pronunciation, It could be a geographical thing I personally say pip et I’m from the north west in the 🇬🇧 but the pronunciation would also depend where about in the uk 🇬🇧 you are from. posh end (south) or rough end (north) hahaha it would be pronounced very differently in Scotland 🏴 or wales 🏴 can’t forget the Irish ☘️ and that is just our little island we call the uk 🇬🇧 so you can imagine it will be pronounced very different all around the world state to state or as we say in the uk county to county, towns or city’s .
It might be regional but it's still pronounced pipe-ette in the scientific & medical industry. Pronouncing things incorrectly "because you've always heard it that way" is your choice, but it also gives people a different impression.
I know this is a one year old comment, but it's a french word. Pip-et is the objectively correct pronunciation. Any regional interpretation of the pronunciation is just that, an interpretation :)
Nice video. I have had a glass distiller for about a decade but this one looks a lot better to have sitting around. You can just hook your faucet to the condenser on the still, it may use less water. You may check out essential oil separators, it has a small valve at the bottom to drain the water from the oil. The oil can also be frozen and then transferred to a new bottle and any water should be left behind as ice if you are careful, if you want to remove any residual water. Hope you don't mind the suggestions. They really are a lot of fun to experiment with. There are hundreds of plants you can put in there.
@@roycropper420 The first 2 Liter was purchased from a company called heartmagic. It included good instructions and easy to understand replacement parts. Still in business, you can find the same turnkey steam distillation apparatuses on Amazon and Ebay. I still have the first one but wanted to scale it down and purchased individual parts to distill in between 25-1000ml. It can now do a full range of types of distillations depending on the configuration. Also, you can indeed buy copper mesh to come into contact with the product being distilled if so inclined. It is packed in a reflux, there may be essential oils that would benefit from it. What I know about its uses is for other types of distilling. Anyway, good luck if you give it a shot.
This was so interesting! I bet your house smells amazing after your process. Thank you so much for sharing and lots of continued success in all your endeavors. Great job! 🥰
Please save water, put some frozen coolers on the bucket to keep water cool, but don’t waste it away. I found it interesting, a nice option to have home made essential oils and hidrosols. My next step is to learn the whole process that’s fascinating to me. I’m not sure but I think the best water to use for essential oil making is distilled water, might help with the preservation🙂
@J F water is a natural resource that everybody needs, not only humans. I believe that we as humans need to charish every natural resource, even if we have it in abundance.
There is something about you that makes my heart so light and happy. Really helps watching your beautiful videos whilst in excruciating pain. Thank you. God bless.
Its is so nice to see the joy and excitement you have with Distilling herbs. Thank you for sharing your happiness, you had me smiling all during this video. Smiles and Happiness, best Natural medicine for a person. Thank you, and please keep sharing your wonderful distilling progress. Blessings.
Great,,thanku for Sharing. Never Saw this process. I have bunch of ginger flowers ,tropical island. It's My first time watching thissss. AM so happy to see u guys now In 2023. Have a Wonderful year full of health Love,,Peace,And Unity...Amen
What an incredible interesting video I found myself glued with eyes wide open. I love the smell of lavender and this was such an interesting process how I would love to do this myself and you made it look so easy although I'm sure it isn't. Thank you for sharing this video. You could tell that you enjoyed creating this video, that it was certainly a passion of yours.
Great video!! Thanks for all your hard work. Just a suggestion...when you come to the end to extract the oil with your pippet...use a syringe and plunge it thru the oil to the bottl of the water and extract the water first......then use a needle syring to suck up the oil.
Thank you for sharing. You can just use aluminum foil to wrap the wooden handles of the distiller so it won't burnt by the fire when you center the distiller with the burner.
Thank you for sharing. I know it requires so much more lavender, or whatever essential oils you're wanting to extract, but cold pressed oils are always the very best quality.
Loved your video! You could use the hydrosol that you want to toss for a foot bath. I also add dried or fresh flowers for the ultimate at home spa experience ❤️
Love this. Thank you. As we are moving to more local production and sourcing, we'll get to learn to love our harvests and plants alot more. Essential oils are amazing and I am so happy to see so many vids on this age old craft!! Well done.
that is so awesome. I am jealous of that garden & that steam distiller!! I hope when you're "throwing out that extra hydrasol" that you're giving it back to those gorgeous lavender plants!! Thanks for sharing. I am on a mission!🌻
I love essential oils. I have a ton of lavender that I would love to do this with! Your viewership is grand!I'm still struggling at 204 subscribers on my little gardening channel but I'll get there one day! Don't give up on your dreams guys! Keep grinding
I very much enjoyed your video. Technically, this operation is not distillation, it’s steam stripping. The separation of the oil and water after condensation is the natural 2 phase layers of an oil and water. The ending is a simple decant step.
Casey, how completely awesome! Thanks. I had no idea it was so easy to do this. I’m a zone 1 so no lavender for me. But I can do things like calendula. Thanks - I appreciate you!
Thank you so much for this video... learned a lot and now can truly appreciate lavender products/oil and why the expense. I will continue to enjoy my lavender in the garden (bees are loving it now) until I'm ready to take on such an interesting process.
Very Cool 😎I really loved seeing how you distilled the oil! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and skills. Looking forward t o seeing what else you do.
So happy to see this video! I grow lavender and would love to distill my little harvest each year. Thanks for the inspiration...will have to let my hubbie know whait I want for Christmas ! Jason did good!
Lucky you having it growing. Im living in city for now As a tea i find its very helpful for depression, headaches, anxiety, sleep..anything related to the head
Thank you for such a wonderful informative video. I live in a coastal town outside Cape Town where there is so much natural vegetation called Fynbos where you get really good fragrances. I would love to start doing this process of extraction, but just starting out and have a looooonnng way to go, but thanks again for the inspiration!
Just came across your video. Its amazingly well made and demonstartes perfectly. My doubt is, you said first 2or3 bottles of hydrosyl are rich in nutrients and smell. The main utensil can carry 5 ltr water. So, we end up nearly 60% as strong hydrosyl. Can we reuse the less rich hydrosyl which is about 40% of collection, during the next process of distillation, instead of discarding it?
you definitely can, but not much is left at the end, and what’s remaining in the pot doesn’t smell great, it still carrie’s benefits. So it just comes down to your preference.
Would some ice cubes added to the bucket make any sense? Might not be worth it if you have a cold water faucet right there, just pondering. Thanks for the video.
Great video! Will you ever make a video showing us the continuation process of making the essential oil for diffusers and the spray. Would enjoy learning from you. Have been watching numerous videos and reading the comments of others, it feels as if I’m receiving more of the correct info from your channel. If nothing else, I appreciate what you’ve shared! Thanks again 😊
lovely.. thank you.. my first video on this subject.. I'm no design expert but I would say the still has a few flaws right of the bat.. the handle burned 1. because it's wood.. I never understood using wood on things that go on flames.. it's bonkers. but 2. because the pipe coming off is too short .. that's why you had it only half on the flame and hence the handle over the flame.. so that the pipe reached out to the side.. the pipe down is too short too.. that's why you needed to prop up the oil jar.. did they expect this part to levitate.. a really bizarre construction.. and using plastic tubes on an item that sits on a naked flame is just plane dangerous.. and silly.. it looks gorgeous and yo've managed to happily navigate all the weird design flaws so well done for that.. and helped me learn what no to buy.. very exciting in general and you are a joy so thank you for sharing so generously.. ;9)
Makes me wanna buy one!! I actually paused the post to go check prices on distillers. We just discovered that we have lavender growing like crazy in the backyard! 😳 Weve recently moved in w Dad (hes growing older now so~) i had no idea he had lavender here! I bet hdk either😉♥️😆 Gonna get a distiller bcuza this video lol got to now! 🤷 She made it look so interesting n cool! 😆Smh got to ! Lol
I enjoyed the video, I would have liked to see how, you mixed the water and or oil with the alcohol base of Everclear, to get an idea of how many drops, etc. to use? I am also curious if you have used other plants and what you are using to clean your device so as not to mix the smells.
I don't know how l can express my joy with your video. Thanks for sharing. I also have a distillery where l do lemongrass/ citronella essential oils. I love your experience. How can l get a small distiller like yours?
Thank you for this educative video about the process onf how to make essential oils from the Garden with an At Home Distiller.. I enjoyed watching Explore your Dream Life channel recommended to me by TH-cam .I have liked and subscribed to the channel.
Thanks,I did not know the actual process was so simple 😊. I have made 'shine in college when a close friend discovered making a drinkable wine is a little more complex than he thought,and (he ended up with 30 gallons of icky yeasty dreck) All it took was a thrift store pressure cooker, a hardware store trip for a fitting and 8' of .25 " copper tube.,and a plastic 5 gal bucket filled with icewater......my buddy thought I was a genius, and the brandy we made would take the top of your skull off,if you weren't careful.....ahh college at PSU,in student housing, before down town Portland Ore. went to absolute hell.....much different world then.
CUKOR Hot Plate,Electric Single Burner for Cooking,1500W Portable Electric Stove,cast-iron,Stainless Steel Non-Slip Rubber Feet . If you had something like this you could move the whole operation over to the counter top and have more control with the centering of your set up. I found this one on Amazon.
Just came across your video. This is something that I've been always interested in doing. I love essential oils. If you don't mind me asking where did Jason get the distiller? Thanks
I searched for years for this I even give up looking. then All of a sudden I see your video demonstrating how to make essential oils. Thank you for sharing 🙏 I really like your still what a wonderful gift, where did jason get it from? I would like a hand engraved one maybe I will have to do that myself lol
If you put the water with the oil in the refrigerator for a while you can remove the oil as a solid. Instead of piping it off.
But does it get solidify???
Como eu faço?! Coloco água com o óleo e uma planta?!
That’s not essential oils
@@CopperHueCollectionsChippewa Explain. I found this video fascinating… But what do you mean?

Amazing! I did not know you get such a small amount of oil from that amount of plants. I appreciate my oils now more 🥰
Yes, It takes 750 lavender plants to make 1 gallon of pure oil. It's quite an endeavor.😊
Same!!
You need a ton (1,000 kls) of rose petal to yield 1 kilo of rose essential oil
Hence it is so expensive😊
Thank you so very much for sharing ❤❤❤
It is true, but also true is how strong it is, one drop of the oil can make 4 cups of lavender perfume.

I have heard of the hydrosol but seen it marketed on body care products like this for example "lavender water, lavender water extract."

Great video!! Thanks for all your hard work. Just a suggestion...when you come to the end to extract the oil with your pippet...use a syringe and plunge it thru the oil to the bottl of the water and extract the water first......then use a needle syring to suck up the oil.
thank you for sharing your tips🙏 I did end up getting something similar to that, i forgot the name of it, but it definitely helps.
Thank you for sharing. You can just use aluminum foil to wrap the wooden handles of the distiller so it won't burnt by the fire when you center the distiller with the burner.
I'm a Lawrence, i love Lavender, best smell in the World, so here I am! Let's go! 😄
Thank you for sharing. I know it requires so much more lavender, or whatever essential oils you're wanting to extract, but cold pressed oils are always the very best quality.
Loved your video! You could use the hydrosol that you want to toss for a foot bath. I also add dried or fresh flowers for the ultimate at home spa experience ❤️
Love this. Thank you. As we are moving to more local production and sourcing, we'll get to learn to love our harvests and plants alot more. Essential oils are amazing and I am so happy to see so many vids on this age old craft!! Well done.
Hello from Bulgaria! Where did you buy this machine from?
Your video was very helpful and informative!
that is so awesome. I am jealous of that garden & that steam distiller!! I hope when you're "throwing out that extra hydrasol" that you're giving it back to those gorgeous lavender plants!! Thanks for sharing. I am on a mission!🌻
I love essential oils. I have a ton of lavender that I would love to do this with! Your viewership is grand!I'm still struggling at 204 subscribers on my little gardening channel but I'll get there one day! Don't give up on your dreams guys! Keep grinding
I love lavender? And there’s nothing better than growing your own! I’m her to learn how to utilize it
I very much enjoyed your video. Technically, this operation is not distillation, it’s steam stripping. The separation of the oil and water after condensation is the natural 2 phase layers of an oil and water. The ending is a simple decant step.
Harvested mine today, growing in pots. Great yeild.
Such a wholesome, informative video. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks!
I’ve just been given one of these till so to find your channel was a real blessing.
Thank you for sharing your experiences 😊
Casey, how completely awesome! Thanks. I had no idea it was so easy to do this. I’m a zone 1 so no lavender for me. But I can do things like calendula. Thanks - I appreciate you!
Loved this video, very interesting. Thank you for sharing!
breath of fresh air in a stuffy old world ❤
Thank you so much for this video... learned a lot and now can truly appreciate lavender products/oil and why the expense. I will continue to enjoy my lavender in the garden (bees are loving it now) until I'm ready to take on such an interesting process.
I loved your video I’ve been wanting this for a long time and FINALLY ordered and received TODAY !!!!! Our hubbies ROCK don’t they !!! ❤❤
I used pop bottles filled with water and freeze them, then I just change them out in the pan to keep the water cool
THANK YOU!! I have been waiting for one of these videos! LOVE LOVE LOVE your channel!
For those who do not know.
That U thing next to the still is called a Peacock.
Mostly used for liquor gravity readings while distilling
Very Cool 😎I really loved seeing how you distilled the oil! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and skills. Looking forward t o seeing what else you do.
So happy to see this video! I grow lavender and would love to distill my little harvest each year. Thanks for the inspiration...will have to let my hubbie know whait I want for Christmas ! Jason did good!
Lucky you having it growing. Im living in city for now
As a tea i find its very helpful for depression, headaches, anxiety, sleep..anything related to the head
What a beautiful distiller. I enjoyed your video. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for such a wonderful informative video. I live in a coastal town outside Cape Town where there is so much natural vegetation called Fynbos where you get really good fragrances. I would love to start doing this process of extraction, but just starting out and have a looooonnng way to go, but thanks again for the inspiration!
Aha! so now I know what to do for my lavender. I will have a garden and do this! Thanks
Hello my friend. This is more than just a video, you put love and passion into it. Great job! Good luck
This is the most awesome video. Thank you for sharing I'm glad I found your page.
I was waiting for this video! Thanks for sharing it was so interesting to see the process. I know first hand how good your sprays smell!
Just came across your video. Its amazingly well made and demonstartes perfectly.
My doubt is, you said first 2or3 bottles of hydrosyl are rich in nutrients and smell. The main utensil can carry 5 ltr water. So, we end up nearly 60% as strong hydrosyl.
Can we reuse the less rich hydrosyl which is about 40% of collection, during the next process of distillation, instead of discarding it?
you definitely can, but not much is left at the end, and what’s remaining in the pot doesn’t smell great, it still carrie’s benefits. So it just comes down to your preference.
💫 ~Loved this! Especially in the middle of PA Winter!👍❄♥️💯
Glad you liked it!!
Would some ice cubes added to the bucket make any sense? Might not be worth it if you have a cold water faucet right there, just pondering.
Thanks for the video.
Thank you for sharing. I enjoy any tutorials with essential oils.
Some ppl are soooo blessed...sooo glad for you
Thanks for sharing 😍 lots of love from arctic Norrway 🙌🏵🌺🌹🌼🌻
Great video! Will you ever make a video showing us the continuation process of making the essential oil for diffusers and the spray. Would enjoy learning from you. Have been watching numerous videos and reading the comments of others, it feels as if I’m receiving more of the correct info from your channel. If nothing else, I appreciate what you’ve shared! Thanks again 😊
Love y/our journey xxxxxx Happy new year to all xxxx n
Thank you 🙏 so much for sharing your experience and knowledge. 🌺😎 Brilliant just brilliant 🤩.
Thank you for sharing this. This is exactly what I've been looking for. ❤
Fascinating! Thanks for sharing. You have a beautiful farm and kitchen. What a great sink, in particular. ❤
lovely.. thank you.. my first video on this subject..
I'm no design expert but I would say the still has a few flaws right of the bat..
the handle burned 1. because it's wood.. I never understood using wood on things that go on flames.. it's bonkers. but 2. because the pipe coming off is too short .. that's why you had it only half on the flame and hence the handle over the flame.. so that the pipe reached out to the side..
the pipe down is too short too.. that's why you needed to prop up the oil jar.. did they expect this part to levitate.. a really bizarre construction..
and using plastic tubes on an item that sits on a naked flame is just plane dangerous.. and silly..
it looks gorgeous and yo've managed to happily navigate all the weird design flaws so well done for that.. and helped me learn what no to buy..
very exciting in general and you are a joy so thank you for sharing so generously.. ;9)
Gees, how did you learn all that? This is amazing!!!! God, I wish I was retired... The D@MN Lottery never comes thru for me
I loved watching this process! And that distiller is amazing. Thank you!!
Makes me wanna buy one!! I actually paused the post to go check prices on distillers.
We just discovered that we have lavender growing like crazy in the backyard! 😳
Weve recently moved in w Dad (hes growing older now so~) i had no idea he had lavender here! I bet hdk either😉♥️😆
Gonna get a distiller bcuza this video lol got to now! 🤷
She made it look so interesting n cool! 😆Smh got to ! Lol
Very interesting. Learned a lot and could smell it😂😂😂 love lavender.
love it and you are so fantastic at explaining it all ! many thx beautiful soul
Neat. First time I have seen how this process works.
I enjoyed the video, I would have liked to see how, you mixed the water and or oil with the alcohol base of Everclear, to get an idea of how many drops, etc. to use? I am also curious if you have used other plants and what you are using to clean your device so as not to mix the smells.
I don't know how l can express my joy with your video. Thanks for sharing. I also have a distillery where l do lemongrass/ citronella essential oils. I love your experience. How can l get a small distiller like yours?
Here is the link for the one I have

Thanks for sharing. I did not know you could do this at home. Can you explain how you make use of the hydrosol water that/s collected?
Probably the most purest form of lavender there is !
I’m a new subscriber, great job on being so creative, I’m a candle maker now and want to create my own oils too, thanks for sharing.❤
Thank you for this educative video about the process onf how to make essential oils from the Garden with an At Home Distiller.. I enjoyed watching Explore your Dream Life channel recommended to me by TH-cam .I have liked and subscribed to the channel.
You're so pretty!!! Thanks for sharing and I love your home!
Thanks,I did not know the actual process was so simple 😊. I have made 'shine in college when a close friend discovered making a drinkable wine is a little more complex than he thought,and (he ended up with 30 gallons of icky yeasty dreck) All it took was a thrift store pressure cooker, a hardware store trip for a fitting and 8' of .25 " copper tube.,and a plastic 5 gal bucket filled with icewater......my buddy thought I was a genius, and the brandy we made would take the top of your skull off,if you weren't careful.....ahh college at PSU,in student housing, before down town Portland Ore. went to absolute hell.....much different world then.
Do you think it would be better filling the bucket halfway and then adding ice as it gets warmer. I feel it would conserve water better
Thank you for sharing I enjoyed watching
Great video! This is badass glad it’s going well
Thanks!
Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much for the information. You are the sweetest 💗
CUKOR Hot Plate,Electric Single Burner for Cooking,1500W Portable Electric Stove,cast-iron,Stainless Steel Non-Slip Rubber Feet . If you had something like this you could move the whole operation over to the counter top and have more control with the centering of your set up. I found this one on Amazon.
Do u ever offer In Person workshops or classes?
I would be so happy to learn from you ! 😃❤
Hi Casey, great video. I could almost smell the lavender. Do you have a video on how to make the sprays? Kindest and warmest wishes to you all...
This was an awesome video. I’ve been wanting to learn this for so long and have struggled to find a good video that would explain this.. thank you 🙏
Just came across your video. This is something that I've been always interested in doing. I love essential oils. If you don't mind me asking where did Jason get the distiller? Thanks
I’m eagerly awaiting a reply to the same question too 😊
The still is from Copper Pro.
