How to Make Tea Marbled Eggs

  1. Gently place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar and a pinch of salt. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Once boiling, immediately remove from heat and cover the pan. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for exactly 6 minutes for soft-boiled or 8 minutes for medium-boiled eggs. Adjust time according to your preference.
  3. Carefully remove eggs from hot water and run under cold water to stop the cooking process. Gently tap the eggs all over to create small cracks in the shell.
  4. In a bowl, pour the cooled strong black tea. Submerge the eggs in the tea, ensuring they are fully coated. Let them sit in the tea for 2-3 minutes, or until the desired level of marbling is achieved. The longer they soak, the more intense the marbling.
  5. Carefully remove the eggs from the tea and gently peel them under running cold water. The marbling will be most visible once peeled.
  6. Serve immediately or chill for later. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.
