Lemon & Rooibos jelly

I did the same thing with Rooibos tea. Two cups lemon juice & pulp, two cups rooibos tea, two cups sugar, & 3 Tablespoons pectin.

Sugar + Dry Pectin

so pretty in the sun!

Arnold Palmer Jelly

I also made Arnold Palmer jelly today. Two cups lemon juice & pulp, and two cups (decaf) black tea, with 2 cups sugar and 3 Tablespoons pectin.

I forgot to do my usual thing of dissolving the pectin into 1/4 cup of liquid, so instead I mixed the dry pectin in with the sugar before adding it to the pot.

checking gel set

yummy goodness!

Today I finally processed the jar of apple slices that had been marinating in honey mead in my fridge. I had a tea bag of "Turkish Apple Tea" and another of lemongrass tea, so instead of adding plain water to the puréed apples, I added the tea.
