I used Methanol to do an herbal extraction, usually I use ethanol.  Normally I have a setup where I run the extract in a flask with mild heat.  I use a gas takeoff adapter on my flask and run a tube to a condenser that has an erlenmeyer on the bottom in a cold bath attached to a vacuum.   The erlenmeyer acts as a cold trap as well as collecting vessel for recovering the alcohol.  This works ok on the methanol, except that I need to be 100% sure I've got as much of the methanol as humanly possible out of my extract since I'm going to be taking it and don't think methanol is particulary good for your health.

Most of the stuff I see on the web is concerned with removing methanol for HPLC or other analysis and uses even more toxic chemicals in the separation.

If you heat it with a water bath and keep it under a vacuum for long enough there will be no methanol left  It takes many hours and even longer sometimes to completely remove a solvent using vacuum evaporation, it depends on many factors that aren't the same due to differing circumstances  There are tests for alcohols that can be used as well, some of which are described in the attached file:

a little methanol never killed anybody puts hair on your chest
personally my alter ego never had a problem with it a little vacum and water bath temps does the job.
if you want let a capillary into the system to sparge it out under vacuo and heat.
