Sadly I had no magnetic stirrer at the time (I have to keep the ethanol because it's expensive here, 300mL are like 20 Bucks), but you can also just cook it slowly and carefully(!) instead. I do not recommend doing so at home. There's a certain amount of water you won't be able to get out without the capsaicin poisoning the air/ ending in the distillate, so be careful. Hence I recommend to dry them BEFORE starting extraction, it will leave a cleaner product. This shit hates direct heat, warm it in an oil bath or water bath generous amounts of salt. Unless you like coughing like a 70yo chain-smoker.

Thanks! As a Chemist it's easy for me to get that stuff with no questions asked.
