Colorful Rainbow Easter Eggs
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 4 toothpicks with cotton wool on the ends
- Paper towels or cloth (to wrap the eggs)
- 1 tablespoon of vinegar per container
- Hot water
- Food coloring (red, orange, blue, green)
- Gloves (to avoid staining hands)
Instructions
- Prepare the Eggs:
-
- Take 4 eggs (one with marrow skin) and wash them well in soapy water.
- Boil the eggs in cold water for about 8 minutes for hard-boiled eggs. (For softer eggs, boil a bit longer).
- Once the eggs are done, transfer them to cold water and let them sit for a few minutes.
-
- Prepare the Dye:
-
- While the eggs are cooling, prepare your work area with old towels or cloth, as the dye can be strong.
- Use 4 containers (one for each color) and add 1 tablespoon of vinegar to each.
- Pour in hot water (make sure the water is hot for the color to stick properly).
- Add food coloring (red, orange, blue, and green) to each container, stirring carefully.
-
- Dye the Eggs:
-
- Take each egg, while still wet, and wrap it in a paper towel.
- Place each egg in the respective color container for 20 minutes.
- Use a toothpick with cotton wool on the ends to carefully handle the eggs to avoid touching the dye with your fingers.
-
- Finish and Serve:
-
- After 20 minutes, remove the eggs from the containers and let them dry.
