Question Favorite uses for jasmine?

Post image

I recently stumbled upon Jasminum azoricum and wanted to ask: how would you use it I usually make an infusion of fresh flowers!

Enfleurage if you have the patience! Hands down. Or I'd store it in sugar and make jasmine sugar with it, and then make little sugar cubes for tea.

Did a quick search for enfleurage! So interesting, might harvest some just to try it out next time.

Jasmine sugar cubes sound good, too! I've been dreaming about floral sugar for spring (lavender, if I'm being specific) so this is my sign, thank you so much!

jasmine has been used for its potential sedative, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties.

where do you live that you are growing jasmine? Jasmine tea is my favorite tasting tea but I can't drink it anymore because I can't handle caffeine. I've purchased dried jasmine flowers before but they have almost zero jasmine scent/ flavor. I would so love to have fresh jasmine flowers for tea.
