Explain why it would be difficult to separate two miscible liquids that have similar boiling points. Please be specific thank you!

a laboratory technique to separate miscible liquids is distillation. Distillation is useful to separate liquids depending on their boiling point, but if the boiling point of the liquids is close to each other, it is extremely hard because you could distillate both liquids at the same time.
