That is so pretty. My mom used to make marbled eggs for me. I make marbled eggs for myself sometimes but I make a “grown-up” version with tea and herbs.

Hi!
Lovely eggs!
They boil eggs with tea to give the marble look in China, and it is called “tea egg”. A bit more natural way to give the colour

Thank you for all your comment.
That is very interesting, I have to try it some time.
I was thinking of making it more natural way, I tried soy sauce but effect was not too good.

I love the blue you picked to colour the eggs with – so beautiful. I’ve only ever had tea eggs before – the ones with oolong tea, soy and spices.
