Essential oil can be extracted from herbs using stills and steam extraction. The steam carries the essential oils from the plant material into a condenser, or a copper coil. When cooled off in the condenser, the resulting liquid, collected in a glass vial with a bottom valve, is a hydrosol with a layer of pure essential oil floating on top. After the hydrosol is poured off, the essential oil is filtered to remove impurities. Take about 2 tablespoons of fresh herb. Chop it up finely.
