There are plenty of periwins in the stores, but they may contain harmful substances. The situation is similar with paints. That is why the natural ways of coloring Easter eggs using kitchen products are much better. I am talking about onions, beets, turmeric, spinach or red cabbage. This time we present a trick that hardly anyone has heard of. You will need tea from … hibiscus.
Nothing quenches thirst like hibiscus tea. It impresses with acidic taste and intense, red color. It turns out that this drink can be used to naturally dye eggs. What color will they give them?
Easter eggs dyed in such an infusion will have a purple color. Of course, its intensity depends on the time of soaking eggs. The longer they stay in the decoction, the more saturated and expressive.
Another surprise is that we don’t have to dye eggs in shells. We can also soak those peeled, hard -boiled.

Egg dyeing in hibiscus is very easy. At the beginning, we boil half a liter of water and pour the whole pack of dried petals of this tea. Add one teaspoon of vinegar to such a decoction to fix the color.
Then only the softening of Easter eggs remains. Within 30 minutes they will get a pastel, purple color. If we want the color to be deep, we extend this time to an hour.
Finally, we leave the eggs to dry on a paper towelwhich will allow you to stand evenly. In order to give Easter eggs a beautiful, shiny look, they can be gently wiped with a cotton cloth, soaked in a little vegetable oil. Thanks to this, the colors will become even more intense, and the shells will gain an elegant gloss.
Eggs can be drew not only with hibiscus tea. What other infusions should be used to create beautiful Easter eggs?
Raspberry tea will give the eggs a red color. It is also worth turning it up with beetroot skin. Easter eggs soaked in chamomile with turmeric will get yellow color.
Nothing prevents you to dye the Easter eggs with ordinary teawhich each of us has in a kitchen cabinet. Then they will be similar to those colored in the shells of onions.
