HOW TO MAKE JELLY FOR BUBBLE TEA RECIPES

Steps:

• (If not including juice and using a tea infusion as your only liquid, increase the amount of water to 2 cups.).
• Bring water to boil, add tea bags and steep for 30 minutes.
• Discard tea bags. Add sugar (and optional juice) to brewed tea and bring to a boil.
• Boil for 2 minute stirring.
• Remove from heat and add pectin, return to boil and allow to do so for 1 minute.
• Skim off any foam.
• Pour hot jelly into jars and process for 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Wash and strain mesona leaves well.
• Add leaves and 20 cups of water into a pot and bring it to a boil.
• Let boil for 10 minutes and remove impurities from the surface.
• Bring heat down to medium and simmer for at least 2 hours, ideally 4 hours. Continue to remove impurities and add 2 cups of water at a time if it’s looking dried down.
• Strain out the leaves well. You should end up with about 40 or more ounces of juice. If there’s less, add a bit more filtered water to avoid bitterness.
• Add brown sugar.
• Enjoy hot or cold!
