There's a number of different ways of doing it, I'm no expert, only time I've done it was in an undergrad lab we steam distilled oil of cloves. The cloves went into the boiler with the water, no need for a basket. You'll need lots of raw material to distil to get a decent amount of anything. If you're really really serious (really really serious) then you could look into getting ato approval for a still to distil essential oils. With good marketing and the right approach it's possible you could make money out of it.
