Making lavender Hydrosol using an Alembic column Still and steam distillation

Quite a few have asked to see how I use my Copper Alembic still to make the hydrosol that goes into a number of my products. Today I am going to take you along for the journey as I harvest the first of this years lavender that grows in our garden. For those interested in the still, I got mine from Alembics in New Zealand https://www.alembics.co.nz/ Thank you for watching! #soyandshea #soapdesign #soapmaking Soy and Shea is an Australian based small business specialising in handmade home & personal fragrances.
