Here's a video on how to with stuff you already have in the kitchen. The warning at the end about impurities applies to any method of distillation. If the impurity evaporates, like ammonia or chlorine, and you don't want it in the final water, then you will need an active charcoal filter as the last treatment. Don't add the dirt and grass like he did, that was just for show.

You can use tap water as feed, but if your water supplier adds chlorine, ammonia or chloramines for disinfectant, then letting the water sit in the fridge for a day or two in a lightly covered glass jug should allow most of it to air out.
