Distilling Day
Sunday 17th July 2022
Ashwellthorpe, Norfolk
Learn how to distil your own aromatic herbal waters (hydrosols). These are gentle but effective medicines, and are also becoming popular in non-alcoholic cocktails and other beverages. They can also be used in skin creams and clearing sprays. We will show you how you can quickly and easily distil herbs using a large saucepan. We also have a 10 litre copper alembic still which we will use to distil a larger amount of plant material.
Distillation is an ancient technique that can easily be used to make beautiful herbal waters for pleasure and for medicine.
