To make distilled water at home, follow these simple steps:

  1. Gather materials:
    • A large pot with a lid
    • A smaller bowl or pot that fits inside the large pot and can float
    • Ice cubes
    • Water
  2. Fill the large pot halfway with tap water.
  3. Place the smaller bowl inside the large pot so it floats on the water without touching the bottom.
  4. Put the lid on the large pot upside-down. The concave shape of the lid will help collect condensation.
  5. Heat the water in the large pot on medium heat until it boils and produces steam.
  6. Place ice cubes on top of the upside-down lid. The cold lid will cause the steam to condense into water droplets.
  7. The condensed water will drip from the lid into the smaller bowl inside the pot. This collected water is distilled water, free from minerals and impurities.
  8. Continue the process until you have collected the desired amount of distilled water.
  9. Allow the distilled water to cool before removing the bowl, then transfer the distilled water to a clean container for storage

This method uses the principle of distillation: boiling water to create steam, then cooling the steam to collect pure water, leaving impurities behind

. It may take some time to collect a significant amount, but it is effective and can be done with common kitchen items
