How to dye Easter eggs with food coloring was never easier. Homemade Easter egg coloring in a jiffy!
Share:
Ingredients
- 6 colors Food coloring (gel works best)
- 6 tablespoons white vinegar
- boiling water
- 12 hard boiled eggs , cooked and cooled
- Several bowls (one for each color)
- Paper towels or hand towels for clean up
- Spoons
Instructions
- Choose the colors you would like to use. In general, a thick gel food color works better than the liquid kind. The more you use, the deeper the color.
- Place 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon of each desired color in 6 separate bowls.
- Add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar to each bowl. Whisk or stir to try and dissolve as much food coloring as possible in the vinegar.
- Add 1 cup hot water to each bowl. Either boil water on the stove or microwave 6 cups for 5 minutes in a microwave safe measuring cup. Be careful removing it and use an oven glove, it will be hot!
- Stir or whisk again to remove clumps.
- Place one or two eggs in each bowl, turning with a spoon to evenly dye each egg. The longer they sit, the more intense the color.
- Remove using a spoon or tongs. If you really want the whole coloring experience, you can use a piece of metal from a hanger and fashion it into the little dipper contraption that comes with the dying kits.
- Dyed eggs can dry on a paper towel lined plate or baking sheet, a cooling rack (like for cookies) or if you used the Instant Pot, the trivet that comes with it.
- Allow eggs to dry fully before handling.
- If you've tried this technique, come back and let us know how it went!
