Basil flower tea?

Im growing basil outside in my terrace. In order to get nice big fat leaves you have to stop it from flowering by pruning or topping the stem, removing the dlowering tip. So every few days i have loads of these apical tops that go to waste. Is tere any way to use these flowers and prebuds for hormons like a Sprouted seed tea or similar?

Sweet or Italian basil also lemon even Blue ..all have their terpes

but as Basil is more open to 'Fusarium wilt' than weed

I'd avoid

best is to extract those vital oils from the tops

and find a market

good luck

This is probably just me being paranoid but I keep basil as far from my cannabis as possible. Basil is an absolute mite magnet and since I don't run a sealed room I'm weary. The herb garden I have outside in the summer never shows issues but those plants have natural predators bugs to help protect them.
They also have strong terps as Vostok stated. I'd follow his suggestions.
