Ingredients
- 1 dozen egg hard-boiled
For Pink:
- 1 small beet peeled and grated
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
For Orange:
- 3 onion skins only, yellow
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
For Yellow:
- 2 teaspoons Turmeric
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
For Light Blue:
- ¼ cup blueberries smashed
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
For Green:
- 1 cup red cabbage chopped
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
For Blue:
- 1 cup red cabbage chopped
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
Instructions
For pink, orange, yellow and light blue:
- Bring a large kettle of water to a boil. You may need to refill this and bring it to a boil again depending on the size of your kettle.
- Set out one high-rimmed, heatproof bowl for each color on a rimmed sheet pan. Place the ingredients for each color in separate bowls. Each color will be enough to color 2 to 3 eggs. Mix the ingredients in each bowl to combine the color agent with the vinegar.
- Transfer the cooked eggs to the bowls, adding as many eggs as you want of a specific color to the bowl.
- Cover the eggs with boiling water until they are fully submerged. Let sit for at least 4 hours, or up to overnight in the fridge for deeper hues. Remove eggs from the dye and let dry for a few minutes on a paper-towel lined sheet pan.
For blue and green:
- Add water to a pot with ingredient for each color. Set out a high-rimmed, heatproof bowl for each on a rimmed sheet pan. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Then transfer the water with the ingredient to a bowl before submerging the eggs.
- Remove eggs from the dye and let dry for a few minutes on a paper-towel lined sheet pan.
