How do you make jelly from leaves? Do you brew them first?

Pineapple Sage Jelly With Cider
Printer version of this recipe

8 Tbsp. chopped fresh pineapple sage
1 Cup water
3 1/2 Cups granulated sugar
1 Cup fresh apple cider
1/4 Cup lemon juice
2 drops green food coloring
4 drops yellow food coloring
1/2 bottle Certo liquid pectin

To make an herb infusion, add pineapple sage leaves to 1 cup boiling water and simmer, uncovered for 10 minutes. Strain. Combine 1/2 cup infusion with sugar, cider, and lemon juice; bring to a boil, add coloring. When it is boiling hard, add the Certo. Stir well as it comes again to a boil and boil for 1 minute. Pour at once into hot sterilized jars and seal.

I was originally given this recipe to be used with plain sage. I didn't care for that; YMMV. I also have a recipe for rosemary jelly if anyone's interested.

For our metrical listsibs, 1 Tablespoon = 15 ml, 1 Cup = 250 ml. Beyond that, I'm lost!
