Grape Distillation

• 2 kg (4 lb 8 oz) green grapes, washed and dried
• natural citric acid

Juice the grapes using a centrifugal juicer (the most common type available at appliance stores). Pass the juice through a fine sieve lined with muslin (cheesecloth). Pour the grape juice into a 6 litre (210 fl oz) distillation flask, place in a rotary evaporator*, set the water bath temperature to 45°
