6 tea bags, peach flavored
1 cup unsweetened white grape juice
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Canning Basics.
Combine water and peach flavored tea bags in a medium saucepan. Bring to
a boil; boil 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes.
Remove tea bags and measure 2 cups tea. Place tea in a 6- or 8-quart saucepot.
Add white grape juice and lemon juice. Gradually stir in pectin. Bring mixture
to a full boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Add entire measure of sugar,
stirring to dissolve. Return mixture to a full, rolling boil and boil hard for
1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim foam if necessary.
Ladle hot jelly into hot jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Wipe rim and threads
