  • After 15 minutes, remove the tea bags (use tongs), and discard them. Stir and check for consistency. If it is starting to thicken, test the jam by removing a plate from the freezer. Place a small amount of jam on the plate. Tilt the plate. If it runs quickly, continue to cook for another 5 minutes. Test jam every 3-5 minutes for consistency (see post).
  • When the jam is done, remove from the heat and let it cool. Place in a glass container or jar and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
