Lavender oil is made by steam-distillation via a closed distiller. Steam is gently forced through a mass of lavender flowers, dissolving the oil glands on the calyx of the flowers and attaching the oil particles to the steam. The steam is then cooled by a condenser that returns the steam and attached oil to a liquid. The liquid is then passed through a separater that separates the oil, which floats on top of the water. The water from the distillation which lies below the oil is called "hydrosol", and this is the only way to create pure lavender essential oil.
