How to Make Basic Tea Jelly
- Bring 2 cups of water to a rolling boil in a saucepan.
- Add 4-6 tea bags (depending on strength preference) and steep for 30 minutes, allowing the tea to infuse fully.
- Remove tea bags and gently squeeze out any remaining liquid.
- Add 1 ½ cups of granulated sugar to the brewed tea. Stir until completely dissolved.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
- Boil for 2 minutes, stirring continuously to prevent scorching.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 box (1.75 oz) powdered pectin. Return to a boil and boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Skim off any foam that forms on the surface.
- Carefully pour the hot tea jelly into sterilized jars, leaving ½ inch headspace.
- Process the filled jars in a boiling water bath for 20 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude).
- Remove jars from the water bath and let them cool completely. You should hear a popping sound as the jars seal.
