TOTD: 8/13/08 Do you distill?

[Guest guest]

Have you ever distilled, or do you plan to? Share dreams and stories.

I plan to start this winter, outside, under the heritage oaks.

I did two winters ago and then a little last spring. But I've found

that until I can get my fibro under control, it takes too much out of

me to do a still run. : ( So my lovely all-glass still is

languishing in its case amid all of its padding, waiting... waiting...

When I did distill, I did douglas fir - one run with just the needles,

and another run with needles and twigs, rosemary, and lemon balm. Not

much oil from any of them (I'm sure I did them at the wrong time of

the season), but the hydrosols were lovely and I used them in my soaps.

Cheers!
