Dyeing eggs with tea is a fun and easy way to create unique and natural-looking Easter eggs. Here are the steps to dye eggs using tea:
Materials:
- Eggs
- Tea bags (black tea or other types of tea)
- Water
- Vinegar (optional)
- Saucepan
- Spoon
- Bowl
- Towel
Instructions:
-
Boil enough water in a saucepan to cover the eggs.
-
Place the tea bags into the boiling water and let them steep for at least 5 minutes. You can use several tea bags to make the color darker.
-
Remove the tea bags from the water and let the mixture cool for a few minutes.
-
If you want to make the color darker, you can add a tablespoon of vinegar to the mixture.
-
Carefully place the eggs into the tea mixture using a spoon.
-
Let the eggs sit in the tea mixture for at least 30 minutes or until they reach the desired color.
-
Remove the eggs from the tea mixture and place them in a bowl to dry.
-
Once the eggs are dry, you can gently wipe them with a towel to remove any excess tea.
-
Your tea-dyed eggs are now ready to be displayed or used for Easter egg hunts!
Note: The longer you leave the eggs in the tea mixture, the darker the color will be. You can experiment with different types of tea to create different shades and hues.
