Serves/Makes: 1
Ready in: < 30 minutes

  • For pinkish red, use fresh beets
  • For orange, use yellow onion skins
  • For yellow, use ground turmeric
  • For pale green, use spinach leaves
  • For blue, use canned blueberries
  • For beige to brown, use strong brewed coffee
  • For brown-orange, use chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar per cup of water
  • eggs

Place the eggs in a large enough saucepan to fit them in a single layer. Add enough water, measuring as you go, to cover the eggs.

For each cup of water added, add one tablespoon of white vinegar to the water. Add one of the ingredients above to color the water, in the strength desired.

Bring the liquid to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer for 20 minutes or until the eggs are hard boiled.

Remove the eggs from the pan with a slotted spoon and immediately plunge in a bowl of ice water. Store the eggs in the refrigerator.
