Step 1

Cover spears with boiling water and let stand 2 hours. Drain. (***See notes)

Step 2

Combine sugar, salt, and vinegar in a saucepan and bring to a boil.

Step 3

In hot wide mouth quart jars, place 1 cinnamon stick, 1 tsp whole cloves, 1/2 tsp fresh ginger, and the contents of 1 tea bag (don't include any of the packaging!).

Step 4

Pack spears into hot jars and ladle sugar/vinegar over them, leaving 1/2 inch headspace.

Step 5

Remove bubbles and wipe the rim of the jar to ensure a good seal.

Step 6

Adjust lid and ring to finger-tightness, process in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes.

Step 7

Remove carefully from boiling water bath and place on a towel on the counter (this reduces the change of glass breakage).

Step 8

Allow to sit overnight before moving. Check seals in the morning and refrigerate anything that didn't fully seal.
