    • 1). Purchase a traditional Arembic copper distiller available from aromatherapy stores or on the Internet. Follow assembly and use instructions carefully.

    • 2). Simmer the leaves in boiling water. If you do not have access to a professional distiller, the leaves can be placed in a deep kettle or pasta pot. Tie the leaves and stems in a piece of cheese cloth and place in the pot. Add 2 quarts of water, put a lid on the pot and simmer for two hours.

    • 3). Remove the cheese cloth wrapped bundle from the water and discard in the garden compost pile.

    • 4). Allow the water to cool to room temperature. The oil will float on top of the water when it has cooled.

    • 5). Use a poultry baster to suction the thin layer of oil off the top of the water. Put in small glass containers and seal.
