INSTRUCTIONS
- Cook each ingredient separately in water until the color is intense. The longer you cook, the deeper the color will be.
- Filter the liquid from each ingredient to remove any solids.
- Add 1oz of vinegar to each colored liquid to help the dye adhere to the eggs.
- Place hard boiled eggs into each colored mixture, ensuring they are completely submerged.
- Use the VOYD canister to vacuum seal each container for preservation and to speed up the marinating process.
- Let the eggs sit overnight in the colored mixture to achieve vibrant colors.
- Once the eggs are dyed, remove them from the liquid and let them dry on something like an oven rack. After they are basically dry, pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Decorate your eggs with stickers, markers, or other decorative items to create beautiful Easter designs.
