Jasmine is a beautiful and fragrant flower that has been used for centuries in various cultures for its medicinal, cosmetic, and spiritual benefits. Jasmine is also known as the “queen of flowers” because of its exquisite aroma and appearance. Jasmine flowers come in different colours, such as white, yellow, pink, or purple, but the most common and popular one is the white jasmine.

White jasmine buds are the unopened flowers that are harvested before they bloom. They have a delicate and sweet scent that is more subtle than the fully opened flowers. Dried white jasmine buds are a versatile and natural ingredient that can be used for many purposes, such as:

Tea 
One of the most common and easy ways to use dried white jasmine buds is to make tea. Jasmine tea is a popular and refreshing drink that can help to relax, soothe, and uplift your mood. Jasmine tea can also provide some health benefits, such as:

• Antioxidant: Jasmine tea contains polyphenols, which are natural compounds that can help to protect your cells from oxidative stress and damage caused by free radicals.

• Anti-inflammatory: Jasmine tea has anti-inflammatory properties that can help to reduce swelling, pain, and inflammation in your body.

• Antibacterial: Jasmine tea has antibacterial properties that can help to fight against harmful bacteria and infections in your mouth, throat, and digestive system.

• Immune-boosting: Jasmine tea can help to boost your immune system by stimulating the production of white blood cells and antibodies.

• Stress-relieving: Jasmine tea can help to lower your stress levels by reducing the levels of cortisol, which is a hormone that is released when you are stressed or anxious.

To make jasmine tea, you will need:

• 1 teaspoon of dried white jasmine buds

• 1 cup of hot water (not boiling)

• Honey or sugar (optional)

To make jasmine tea, you can follow these steps:

1. Place the dried white jasmine buds in a teapot or a mug.

2. Pour the hot water over the jasmine buds and let it steep for about 3 to 5 minutes. You can adjust the steeping time according to your preference. The longer you steep, the stronger the flavour and aroma will be.

3. Strain the tea and enjoy it hot or cold. You can add some honey or sugar if you like it sweet.

Perfume
Another way to use dried white jasmine buds is to make your own perfume. Jasmine perfume is a classic and elegant fragrance that can enhance your beauty and charm. Jasmine perfume can also have some aromatherapy benefits, such as:

• Mood-enhancing: Jasmine perfume can help to improve your mood by stimulating the release of serotonin, which is a neurotransmitter that regulates your emotions, happiness, and well-being.

• Aphrodisiac: Jasmine perfume can help to increase your sexual attraction and desire by stimulating the release of endorphins, which are hormones that create feelings of pleasure and euphoria.

• Relaxing: Jasmine perfume can help to relax your mind and body by inducing alpha brain waves, which are associated with a state of calmness and meditation.

To make jasmine perfume, you will need:

• 1/4 cup of dried white jasmine buds

• 1/4 cup of vodka

• A glass jar with a lid

• A spray bottle

To make jasmine perfume, you can follow these steps:

1. Place the dried white jasmine buds in the glass jar and pour the vodka over them. Make sure the jasmine buds are completely submerged in the vodka.

2. Close the lid tightly and shake the jar well. Store the jar in a cool, dark place for about 2 weeks. Shake the jar once a day to mix the ingredients.

3. After 2 weeks, strain the perfume through a muslin cloth or a coffee filter into another container. Discard the jasmine buds.

4. Transfer the perfume into a spray bottle using a funnel. Label your bottle and store it in a cool, dark place.

Potpourri
A third way to use dried white jasmine buds is to make potpourri. Potpourri is a mixture of dried flowers, herbs, spices, and other natural materials that are used to scent and decorate your home. Potpourri can also create a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere in your home by releasing aromas that can affect your mood and emotions. Potpourri can also have some other benefits, such as:

• Air-freshening: Potpourri can help to freshen up your air by absorbing odours and releasing fragrances.

• Insect-repelling: Potpourri can help to repel insects by containing ingredients that have insecticidal properties.

• Humidifying: Potpourri can help to humidify your air by releasing moisture and vapours.

To make potpourri, you will need:

• 1 cup of dried white jasmine buds

• 1/4 cup of dried rose petals

• 1/4 cup of dried lavender buds

• A glass jar with a lid

• A bowl or a basket

To make potpourri, you can follow these steps:

1. Place the dried white jasmine buds, the dried rose petals and the dried lavender buds in the glass jar. Shake the jar well to mix the ingredients.

2. Close the lid tightly and store the jar in a cool, dark place for about a week. This will allow the ingredients to infuse and release their aromas.

3. After a week, open the jar and transfer the potpourri into a bowl or a basket. Place it in your desired location, such as your living room, bedroom, bathroom, or kitchen.

4. To refresh your potpourri, you can add a few drops of essential oils of your choice, such as jasmine, rose, lavender. You can also heat your potpourri in a pot over low heat or in a microwave for a few seconds to release more fragrance.
