Small Alembic Distillers -Traditionally used for distilling wine. This Alembic is capable of producing essential oil and hydrosols. Water and plant material is placed in the pot on the left. The water in the pot is brought to a boil. The steam carries the essential oil and water to the condenser, where it is cooled back to a liquid state. The distillate then flows out of the condenser for separation of essential oil and hydrosols.
