Chinese Tea Eggs

Recipe Ingredients

• 6 hard-boiled eggs
• 3 cups water
• 2 large tea bags

Method

1. Gently roll the hard-boiled eggs on a counter so that the shell cracks into a crackled pattern. Place the water, the tea bags and the soy sauce in a saucepan and bring to boil. Add the crackled hard-boiled eggs, reduce heat and simmer for about 1 hour.
2. Remove from the heat and leave eggs in the seasoned water until ready to peel and eat.
