📃 Video Summary:

Equipment Needed
- Large stainless steel pot
- Round baking rack or a heat-safe glass bowl that can float
- Smaller heat-resistant container (like a glass measuring cup) to collect the distilled water
- Glass lid for the pot, ideally slightly domed
- Ice

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Preparation
Fill the large pot about halfway with tap water. This is the water you'll be distilling. Place the round baking rack or an overturned heat-safe glass bowl in the center of the pot. This will support the collection container, which should be placed on top of the rack or bowl. The goal is for the collection container to be sitting high enough not to touch the water.

2. Position the Collection Container
Place your collection container (such as a glass measuring cup) on the rack or bowl. Ensure it is stable and centered to catch the distilled water effectively.

3. Create a Condensation Effect
Invert the lid of the pot and place it on top. The handle in the middle of the lid should be pointing downwards towards the collection container. This setup will allow the steam to condense on the lid and drip into the collection container.

4. Add Ice for Improved Condensation
For increased efficiency, you can place ice on top of the inverted lid. This will cool the surface of the lid and improve the condensation process, allowing more steam to condense into distilled water. You'll need to replace the ice as it melts.

5. Boiling
As the water boils, steam will rise, condense on the cool lid, and then drip into the collection container. This process can take some time, so patience is key. Depending on the amount of distilled water you need, you might need to refill the pot with water and repeat the process.

6. Collection
After a significant amount of time, usually an hour or more, turn off the heat and carefully remove the collection container. Be careful, as the equipment will be very hot. Use oven mitts or pot holders to avoid burns.

7. Storage
Once you've collected the distilled water, let it cool before transferring it to a storage container. Use clean, sterilized containers to store the distilled water to keep it pure.

Tips for Making Distilled Water at Home
• Safety First: Always be cautious when dealing with boiling water and steam to avoid burns.
• Quality of Source Water: While distillation removes many impurities, starting with water that is as clean as possible is advisable, especially if you plan to drink it.
• Uses: Besides drinking, distilled water is great for filling irons, automotive cooling systems, humidifiers, and aquariums, or for watering plants that are sensitive to minerals in tap water.

Making distilled water at home is a straightforward process that can be quite useful. Whether you're using it for specific home appliances, in hobbies, or for personal consumption, following these steps can help you obtain clean, mineral-free water.
