An Introduction to Botanical Distillation

This workshop will focus on the techniques and best practices for creating potent hydrosols, or floral waters. Together we will harvest fresh aromatic plants and go through the process of distillation using both a traditional copper still and with a simple at-home method. We will talk about the unique benefits of hydrosols for use in skincare - as well as touching on their aromatherapy and culinary applications. There will be the opportunity to sample a variety of hydrosols, each participant will take home a 2 oz bottle of hydrosol and a farm-grown floral bouquet from Foxtrot.

Workshop is Saturday June 29th from 10 am to 1 pm at Foxtrot Flower Farm, 6862 Route 82 Stanfordville NY 12581
