The Celcius degrees are. : 0 is when water freeses, 37 is human temperature, 100 water boil.
I guess that water boil at a lover temperature in the mountains, but that can not be of much importance if you know about it, just give it a little longer.

The good thing by using water is that you don't need a thermometer, you know that the temperature is just above 100 as long as the steam is coming up. It takes time for the water to evaporate so you just put a little more into the soup.

Yes, it is important to stir it all the time. Afterwards you will let it precipitate in a glass jar for several day's. When the superfluous lead has settled on the buttom of the glas you pour the oil in another glas bottle ready to use when mixed with Mastix.
