A method of extracting nectar from a plant, implemented in a system comprising:
- a plurality of plants or portions thereof, an extraction chamber, at least one substrate, an extractor, and at least one collection chamber, the method comprising:
- a) collecting the plurality of plants or their portions;
- b) positioning at least a portion of the collected plants or their portions within the at least one substrate
- c) inserting the at least one substrate into the extraction chamber for a predetermined period, wherein the extraction chamber is maintained at an equilibrium relative humidity of between about 75% and about 95% at 25° C.;
- d) removing the at least one substrate from the extraction chamber;
- e) coupling the at least one substrate to the at least one collection chamber;
- f) coupling the collection chamber to the extractor;
- g) spinning the extractor at a predetermined revolutions per minutes, configured to extract the nectar from the plants or their portions;
- and
- h) collecting the nectar in the collection chamber.
