You can color eggs for Easter without using chemical dyes using hibiscus. The author of the German culinary YouTube channel Home cooking told how to get Easter dyes in different shades of blue.
Products
- eggs;
- one teaspoon of salt;
- water;
- one tablespoon of vinegar;
- hibiscus;
- vegetable oil.
Preparation
- Pour hibiscus tea into a saucepan and add water.
- Add vinegar and salt.
- Bring the infusion to a boil, place the eggs in the infusion and cook for 10 minutes.
- Wipe the eggs dry and brush with vegetable oil for shine.
What is the result
The color of the dyes will depend on how long the eggs will be in the infusion. If you leave it for 10 minutes, the eggs will turn out soft blue, but if you leave it for two hours, the color will be darker and more saturated. Moreover, the infusion itself is absolutely harmless.
