Come learn the history of this ancient and alchemical practice. Together we will go through the process of distilling plants into aromatic waters (hydrosols) and essential oils. I will demonstrate both the copper alembic still and the stove top at home distillation processes. We will talk history, science of aromatics, different plants and parts used, and will explore the various applications of different methods and medicines of aromatic plant waters and oils.
