How do you make jasmine essential oil?

November 24th, 2009

I have a beautiful jasmine plant (outdoors) that is shedding like it should. Can I save the dropped blossoms and put them in a carrier oil? What’s the best way to make essential Jasmine oil? Thanks!!!

you might not have enough to make essential oil. you need a ton of plant matter for this, and a still.

what you can do is gather the flowers and dry them on window screen or a dehydrator. you can toss some in a bath or put a little in a pillow. also, if you have a dehydrator, while you’re using it your house will smell amazing!!

you could also make a steeped jasmine oil. that’s where you just get a jar of oil, jojoba or almond oil, any oil’s fine, and put the flowers in there to steep. you want to let it sit for a month or more. the longer it’s in there the more it will smell like jasmine when you strain it out.
