So I am seriously considering getting into making my own extract of Sassafras. @daath mentioned distilling as a process for achieving this. I have never done anything like this, but I am sure some of you have. So here are my thoughts...
Sassafras is a tree, and the root of this tree is used to make Sassafras tea by boiling the root in water. If I buy a distilling kit would this work to extract the Sassafras flavor from the liquid to turn it into a flavoring? I am thinking I will want a pure extract, and not have any added PG or anything. But if needed, I might consider adding a carrier, but may prefer VG.
I have no idea what I am doing, but I really want to try this. But buying a couple hundred dollars worth of equipment would mean I really don't want to try and fail at this. So I want to gather any information I can before I go through with this. I know some of you have had success with extracting coffee and other flavorings. So any input to educate myself would be greatly appreciated, especially in regards to the necessary hardware to perform the distilling process.
I am looking at this distillery setup:
