How to Make Tea Marbled Eggs
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Carefully remove the eggs from the tea and gently peel them under running cold water. The marbling will be most visible once peeled.
- Serve immediately or chill for later. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.
