To color the Easter Eggs you will need to wash the eggs and put in a pot. Make sure they are all in the same row, then cover them with cold water. Add 2 tea spoons of vinegar per liter. Add the coloring ingredients (depends on which color you are after for) and add one cup of vinegar.
Warm the water, eggs and ingredients until it starts boiling and let it boil 15 - 20 minutes.
Ingredients depend on which color you want to color your eggs in.
- RED: red onion
- PINK: beetroot
- GREEN: spinach
- PURPLE: dark grapes
- YELLOW: orange or lemon peel
- ORANGE: yellow onion, red pepper
- BLUE: red cabbage or blueberry
Special tricks:
Would you like to have interesting shapes like leaves or flowers on your eggs?
Put a desired shape on your egg and tie it with thin rope or lace OR wrap it in nylon socks - cook with it on! Tthe place where you put desired shape won't be colored.
Another trick is with wax. Before coloring the eggs, let the wax drip over them, or if you would like to draw with it, let the wax drip in a plate, use toothpick and decorate your eggs with the wax. It will fall off after long boiling or you can simply remove it after the eggs are done.
ENJOY!
