Wow I'm high and I just typed this as a response but I was thinking it was the beginner room dealie bob, but maybe your looking for a more serious discussion of the topic, i don't know but I'll paste a slightly edited version anyway...Just distill it at home. I prefer home distilling, as it makes for less trips to the store and less overall waste for the earth. All you need is a teapot, length of tube, and a couple of pots (a bigger pot with airtight seal can be used in place of teapot). The tube should cover the top of the teapots snout. Let it start whistling, open the cap and attach the tube. The other end of the tube should go to an airtight pot (or another teapot), which should have ice covering the outside to cool the pot. I use a teapot for the original water, heat it up (heats up faster than a big pot and you can keep adding water in the top when need be, so you can do more water, faster) water vaporizes and leaves everything else behind, goes through the tube and cools to the point where it eventually condenses in a pot which is cold from the ice which covers the outside. Go get the 2 biggest pans out of a set, one should fit snuggly in the other, but still leave 1-2 inches of space, which should be filled with ice, icey water, or snow. This will lower the temps so the water condenses faster. You will need to put a hole in the lid of the smaller pot though, it should be the same size as the tube and the tube should either fit onto an adapter (I welded on the snout of a cheap ass teapot), or fit through the hole as snug as possible, a rubber washer around the tube sealed against the lid will help keep it air tight. Of course you could use another teapot, but its not very big, and may not fit well in a pot making it harder to cool off. It takes a while but it leaves you with something you can trust. You can also do it in a much larger scale, but as I only grow one plant at a time, I don't feel the need too. Of course you could spend $20 on bottled water and not sit around distilling water all day and night.
