Recipe: Tea Jelly

I've been working on making some jellies and jams and the like this fall, and I thought I would post a recipe for one that my kids really enjoyed - Tea Jelly!

I made this out of Republic of Tea Mango Ceylon Tea.  It is a subtle flavor and it is delicious.

BE CAREFUL TO STIR IT AFTER YOU ADD THE SUGAR!

I was busy making graham crackers, and it boiled over.  What a mess.  So, don't let that happen to you.

I got the recipe from Recipezaar: Basic Tea Jelly.

I plan on making it with some other kinds of tea, too.  There are so many kinds to try.  The author of the recipe made it with chai, and I have to think that would be astounding.

Edited to add:  I made Pomegranate Vanilla, Passionfruit Papaya, Strawberry Cherry, and Chai Tea Jellies yesterday.  They all set up beautifully, except for the Chai... I'll let it sit for a while longer and hope that it sets.  If it doesn't, I've got Chai Syrup!

  1. Can these jellies be done in small batches?

    I have nightmares of my mother making jelly/jam in huge amounts from the 70s (that still exist in some bizarre form today)

  2. Sounds interesting, one to investigate I think!

  3. I assume you could make a small batch... I doubled the recipe myself, but I've read that changing amounts in jelly recipes can be a problem...

  4. Ok - so you doubled the recipe - then I could simply try the not-doubled recipe!
