Distilling Lavender

Tonight I'm staying up late to begin the distillation process for these bags and bags and bags of lavender that Shannon at Seasons of Spirit in Sanger gave me for helping out with the bundling, and because I'm going to give her a big bottle of hydrosol. It looks like I might get a couple of gallons of hydrosol out of this (did I say bags and bags? yes? so, yeah, bags and bags ad infinitum) of lavender buds, stems and leaves. I have a bunch of just stems too that I think I might grind up and make a nice kyphi-like incense with for the fall. I think I'll throw in the little bits of sweetgrass clippings I got into that kyphi too. That should make for an interesting natural incense ball, eh?
