Hydrosols are not just waters but are imbued with the aroma, healing qualities and flavor of the distilled material. When the plants, fruits or flowers are put into the copper still, they are subjected to either boiling water, steam or both. The steam hits the plant, softens the healing cells and plant essence; the essential oil and healing properties that are contained within the cell escape as a vapor. Hydrosols contain all of the plant in every drop, just like a hologram. This vapor mixes with the steam and goes through the gooseneck of the still apparatus and through the condensing coil, which is surrounded, by water. This cools the steam and vapor, which pours into the receiver as water that has been imbued with the "soul of the plant". All of our hydrolsols are produced in a copper alembic still, creating them pure and sweet.
