Steps to Making Distilled Water
- 1). Fill the stock pot halfway with water and cover with a lid.
- 2). Bring the pot of water to a full, rolling boil over high heat on a stove.
- 3). Remove the first lid from the pot. Over a sink, turn it upside down to keep the condensation, now distilled water, inside.
- 4). Recover the pot with the second lid and continue to boil the water.
- 5). Tilt the first lid with the water toward a cup so the liquid rolls off the lid and into the cup. The amount of water in the pot will determine the amount of water collected from each lid, which will hold at most a 1 or 2 tbsp.of water. It will require several lid changes to get a full cup of water.
- 6). Repeat with the second lid. Replacing the first lid over the boiling pot to collect more distilled water.
- 7). Continue to change the lid and empty it of its condensed water every 10 minutes until the water boils away or you have enough distilled water.
