📝 Preparation Steps
1
Pull the green base off each forsythia blossom so you're left with just the yellow petals. The green parts are bitter, so this step is worth the effort.
2
Place the cleaned petals in a heat-proof container and pour the boiling water over them. Steep for 15 to ⏱️ 20 minutes, then strain out the petals.

Pour the tea into a large pot and add the lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Whisk in the powdered pectin until dissolved and boil hard for ⏱️ 1 minute. Don't add the sugar yet, or the jelly won't set.
