How To Make Essential Oils In The Air Still

Hey everyone! Today I am taking a break from my usual videos and I will be showing you how to make essential oils in the Air Still by Still Spirits. The oil I will be making is Labrador Tea essential oil, a bit of an unusual one, but it is one of my favourite plants, if not my favourite plant! I am very new to making essential oils, and so as I am making this video, I had no idea if the oil was going to be an absolute or a dilution. Absolute being 100% pure essential oils, and a dilution being a mixture of essential and MCT oils. This turned out to be a dilution because the yield wasn't high enough to do the hydrosol separation on it's own using the water/oil separator. I hope you find this video helpful in some way, as I realize there aren't many videos on the topic of distilling oils with the Air Still. Now I hope you enjoy the video, happy distilling!

I am simply making this video to show people how steam distillation of essential oils works in the Air Still, as well as how to separate the oils from the hydrosol using a water/oil separator, as there are a lack of videos on the topic.
