Boiling with Dye (See more about dyeing)

  1. Put eggs in a single layer in a pan. Pour water in pan until the eggs are covered.
  2. Add about a teaspoon of vinegar.
  3. Add the natural dye appropriate to the color you want your eggs to be. (The more eggs you are dying at a time, the more dye you will need to use.)
  4. Bring water to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
  5. Remove the substance you used to color the eggs. Put eggs in a bowl. If you want your eggs to be a darker shade, cover them with the dye and let them stand overnight in the refrigerator.
