Exciting experiment now beginning at Bean Acres. My precious husband ,of now 5 months has built me a small kitchen distiller for on the stove...using my stainless steel pressure cooker. Has a few bugs to work out but we tried it on some basil last night to see if it would "blow up" the house. It didn't. The aroma.....wow! L-dopa is water soluable..so the hope is that we might be able to do a plant water, along with making brandy tinctures for capturing the L-dopa. Pray for us as we venture into new territory. Love ya Aunt Bean
