I hope that the allure of ease will encourage you to try again (perhaps with Earl Grey?) and fill us all in on your results! :)Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08746905336892298900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12436268.post-37491755356491699882008-03-20T18:15:00.000-07:002008-03-20T18:15:00.000-07:00We are already planning pastel eggs with a gold le...We are already planning pastel eggs with a gold leaf look finish and Spiderman eggs for the grandsons. Now, I'll have to try the tea eggs. They are so pretty.<BR/><BR/>I did find one recipe for Chinese Marbled Eggs in my "Steeped In Tea" book that said to boil the eggs for about 15 minutes, crack them, return them to the original pan of water, add black tea leaves and gently simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes.<BR/><BR/>I think they would then taste very overcooked. Your method sounds more practical. Thanks for the idea.parTea ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17106196613047314184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12436268.post-48211055756064729922008-03-20T17:19:00.000-07:002008-03-20T17:19:00.000-07:00Wow!

Your recipe is the first time I have seen a simple overnight soak in a tea bath. That sounds easy! Were your eggs fresh? Hard boiled eggs peel easier if you use 'older' eggs rather than freshly purchased eggs. Would that have made the process easier?Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03394597758723246533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12436268.post-35435455485588081112008-03-20T12:44:00.000-07:002008-03-20T12:44:00.000-07:00I think you could get the same results if you coul...I think you could get the same results if you could have tea with the Easter Bunny!

There was ever-so-subtle a hint of Apricot aroma and flavor. <BR/><BR/>If someone were into Lapsang Souchong (smoke tea), I think this would work great. That's not my preference.<BR/><BR/>I think an Earl Grey would make an interesting experiment.<BR/><BR/>This would also be a fun experiment to try with matcha (brigt green, powdered green).Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05753205572837649406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12436268.post-70518314515258343962008-03-20T09:35:00.000-07:002008-03-20T09:35:00.000-07:00Silly question... does the egg taste like the tea ...Silly question... does the egg taste like the tea you steeped it in overnight? If so, any suggestions on flavors, or is it better to use a plain black tea?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
