  • 1 tbsp salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the onion skins in a large pot with the salt and water. Bring them to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and allow the skins to simmer for 10 minutes to extract the color.
  2. To create a stencil with the herbs, wrap the herbs around an egg. Place the egg inside the nylons and tie a knot. If you are decorating multiple eggs, make sure to tie a knot in between each to secure the herbs against the egg.
  3. Bring the water to a boil and add the nylon-wrapped eggs to the water, making sure the eggs are fully submerged.
  4. Remove the eggs from the boiling water and allow them to cool down. Remove the nylon and herbs.
  5. To make the eggs shiny, brush them with oil. Hide them and enjoy!
