As you know with the ongoing corona-virus issue, the need of alcohol as a disinfectant had increased dramatically.

I live in Iran, where alcohol is illegal. Nowadays, even if you can find a 100cc of 70% ethanol, you can expect to pay x10 price.

I'm looking for a way to make 70% alcohol with simple things that may find in any kitchen for daily needs.

To make it with "simple things that may find in any kitchen for daily needs" is not possible to my knowledge. However you can with a few pieces bits that you should be easily able to get your hands on.

For example [this recipe I found online](https://www.offthegridnews.com/how-to-2/the-survivalists-simple-guide-to-making-rubbing-alcohol-from-scratch/ "OffTheGridNews.com") :

* Roughly 2 pounds of white sugar (preferably not bleached).
* 1 gallon of water, purified if possible.
* 2 empty water jugs made of HDPE plastic (simply look at the mark on the bottom of the jug), or a glass drinking jug.
* 1 jar of simple baker’s yeast.
* About 2 ½ feet of coiled copper tubing (not as expensive as you might think).
* A bowl of cold water or ice big enough to hold your container (this is not a
  necessary step but it helps speed up the process).
* 1 thermometer.
* 1 funnel.
* Duct tape.

Note that it does take over 2 weeks.
