How to Make Red Zinger Tea Jelly
- Boil 4 cups of water in a large pot.
- Remove from heat, add 6 Red Zinger tea bags, and let steep for 20 minutes, covered.
- Remove and discard the tea bags.
- Pour 1 cup of orange juice into a mesh strainer to remove pulp.
- Add the brewed tea, 3 cups of sugar, 1 tablespoon of finely grated orange rind, and 1/4 cup of orange liqueur to a large saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
- Boil, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Let cool for 5 minutes.
- Stir in 1 box (1.75 oz) liquid pectin. Return to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
- Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Skim off any foam with a metal spoon.
- For canning: Ladle the hot jelly into hot, sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe the jar rims, apply hot sterilized lids and bands, and tighten fingertip tight. Process in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes. For refrigerator jelly: Pour into sterilized jars or containers and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to set.
- (Canning only) Remove jars from the canner and let cool completely. Check seals by pressing down on the center of each lid. Any lids that don't make a popping sound are not sealed properly.
