First, measure out all of the ingredients with the measuring cup and spoons. Here’s my easy Hard-Boiled Eggs recipe.
Then, separate the water into small bowls -1 for each color you will be using. Use approximately 1 cup of water for each color.
Next, add 2 tsp. of white vinegar to each bowl of water.
Then, add a few drops of food coloring into each of the water bowls, making sure to keep the colors separate.
Mix each color well with a spoon.
Still using the spoon, carefully lower the eggs into the coloring.
Only color one egg at a time per color.
Leave the eggs in the coloring for: Color gels: 3-5 minutesNatural color dyes: 15 minutesIf a darker color is desired, leave the eggs in longer.
Then, line a baking sheet with paper towels and a grid rack. Transfer the colored eggs to the rack to dry.
Next, gently dry the eggs with more paper towels.
Finally, you’re ready for Easter egg celebrations!
Notes
Storing Boiled EggsTo store hard-boiled eggs: transfer the eggs to an airtight container lined with a damp paper towel. Cover the eggs with another damp paper towel and seal the lid tightly. These hard-boiled eggs will stay good stored like this in the fridge for 3-4 days. Label the date on the outside of the container to keep up with freshness.
