Dying Easter Eggs with Tea
Tea makes a light tan Easter Egg.
When make it easter eggs there are a few tips to successfully making eggs. See tips.
To make Easter Eggs dyed withTea put a tea bag or teaspoon of tea in for each cup of water, then add the egg in 1 layer.. For spotted eggs put in some loose tea or break a tea bag.
Then add cool water to cover the eggs by atleast 1 inch of water. Then add 1 tablespoon of vinegar to the water to soften the shell, while it cooks.
Turn the burner onto medium high, until the water comes to a boil. Then turn th burner down to low and let the eggs simmer for atleast 10 minutes. I like to let them sit for longer, so they absorb more of the dye.
Once they have sat in th dye for long enouph, remove them and place them on a paper towel, parchment paper, wax paper or even newpaper. Wax paper can cause the dye to pool and leave spots and newpaper ink may come off on the egg.
Let the eggs dry. If you want spotted eggs leave the tea particals on the eggs.
Once the eggs have dried, take a paper towel and dap it in a little oil and rub it on the eggs. It doesn’t much only a few drops can oil several eggs. Dry the eggs off and set aside for a few minute, then refrigrate them.
