I was intrigued by the idea of making jelly out of tea when someone posted a request for recipes. I tried this one, and I like it alot. Obviously, it all depends on the quality of your tea. So far I've only tried this with a very high quality organic chai, and it is SO good! If you find a type of tea that works really well for this, post a review and let us know!

Tips:

Use loose-leaf tea: Loose-leaf tea provides a more intense flavor compared to tea bags. It allows for better control over the strength of the tea jelly.
Experiment with different tea flavors: The type of tea used will significantly impact the flavor of the jelly. Try using herbal teas, black teas, or green teas to create unique flavor combinations.
Adjust the amount of sugar: The amount of sugar can be adjusted to suit personal taste. For a less sweet jelly, reduce the amount of sugar. For a sweeter jelly, increase the amount of sugar.
Use fresh fruit: Fresh fruit adds natural sweetness and flavor to the jelly. Choose ripe, flavorful fruits that are in season.
Chill the jelly before serving: Chilling the jelly before serving helps it to set and firm up. This makes it easier to slice and serve.
