Step 6Distilling
-Put the teapot on a stove or other heat source and turn it on
-Wait for the distillate to drip into the vessel.
When I tried it the Condenser melted very fast and there were many leaks. (I think I'll rig up a copper coil condenser).
The distillate didn't separate very easily and is supposed to be dark blue while my liquid is pale white.
It should work fine for my purposes (I'm using it as a mosquito repellent) but it would be nice to get a pure essential oil.
