The Art of Botanical Distillation

  • Foragers Farm 3533 Rowe Road Cobourg, ON, K9A 4J7 Canada (map)

Craft herbal magic with us as we learn about the art of botanical distillation. Plant distillation is a way of capturing the essence of a plant and its terroir using a copper still to make essential oils and hydrosols. We will cover the process of making hydrosols, which are commonly used in aromatherapy and skin care and have been traditionally used for thousands of years in herbalism and food. We will cover the basics from choosing your copper distiller, cleanliness, why choosing the right water source matters, plant harvesting, plant to water ratio, and the basic technique to make high quality hydrosols.
