Naturally Dyed Eggs with Herbal Tea

12-24 hard boiled eggs (white eggs work best)

hibiscus flowers

elderberries

turmeric root (sliced)

lavender flowers

calendula flowers

chamomile flowers

rose hips

hawthorn berries

water

tsp alum (per herb color)

Tbsp white vinegar (per herb color)

Put 1/4-1/2 cup of each dried herb into a pint jar.

Then boil some water and pour it over the herbs in the jars. Let the herbal teas steep several hours or until cool, then strain out the herbs with a fine mesh sieve.

Add either one teaspoon of alum or one tablespoon of vinegar to the tea. The tea can also be split up into two jars if you want to do one with alum and the other with vinegar.

Add an egg or two to each herbal dye color. Cover the jar with a lid and put in the refrigerator. The eggs should sit in the herbal dye for several hours or even overnight.

Remove the eggs from the dye and set them on a rack to dry. The eggs can be dipped in the dye a second time for a stronger color if desired.

Refrigerate the colored eggs after they have fully dried.
