How Do You Color Easter Eggs With Tea?
Coloring Easter eggs with tea is a special way to share this holiday with your children or grandchildren. Using teas instead of commercially prepared dyes gives you a more natural look, and you don’t have to worry about anyone being allergic to any of the commercial dyes. You can mix different types of tea, which will give you a unique color mix. Be creative and have fun! Cover the work area with paper to protect wood from moisture. Wash the eggs in warm soapy water to make sure there aren’t any oils or soil on the egg to interfere with coloring. Hard-boil the eggs. Make the dye mix. Pour 1 cup boiling water over at least 2 tea bags and steep for 15 minutes. Squeeze out the tea bags to remove all of the dye and set aside. Add 1 teaspoon of white vinegar to the mix and allow to cool to room temperature. Different teas can be used in different bowls for variety. Gently add eggs to the desired bowls. Make sure each egg has room so that liquid touches all sides. Allow the eggs to float in
