4
Bring the tea and lemon juice to a boil, then whisk in the powdered pectin until dissolved and boil hard for 1 full minute.
5
Add all the sugar at once and stir to dissolve. Return to a full rolling boil and boil hard for exactly ⏱️ 1 minute, then remove from heat and skim off any foam. (Do not add the sugar before or with the pectin, or the jelly won't set.)
6
Ladle hot jelly into prepared jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe rims clean, center lids, and apply bands fingertip-tight.
7
Process in a boiling water bath for ⏱️ 10 minutes, adjusting for altitude. Turn off the heat and let jars rest ⏱️ 5 minutes before removing. Cool undisturbed ⏱️ 12-24 hours before checking seals.
