MAKES: 12-24 EGGS
Prep Time: 20 minutes

INGREDIENTS

Color Kitchen Easter Egg Coloring Kit
12-24 eggs
2 tbsp white vinegar

DIRECTIONS

Place eggs in a single layer in a large saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover the eggs. Bring to a boil on high heat. Let the eggs boil for 1 minute, then remove them from heat. Let the eggs stand in the hot water for 12 minutes, then transfer them to an ice bath to cool.

Dry the eggs completely with a towel.

Empty each color packet into a separate cup. Add ¼ tsp water and blend thoroughly with the brush to dissolve the powder. Leave for a couple of minutes then blend again. Keep mixing until all of the powder has dissolved. Add 1 tbsp white vinegar to the pink/purple dye and the blue dye only (not yellow/orange). Add 2 tbsp water to all and mix.

Hold the eggs on one end and dip other half into the cups of dye. Hold submerged in the dye for a few seconds for deep colors, or quickly for lighter pastels.

Set to dry in an empty egg carton or the tray provided with the Easter kit.

Dip a second time in other dyes for layering of color.

TIP: For clean lines, wrap a strip of masking tape around the center of each egg. Press down firmly so that the dye will not be able to seep in underneath the tape. Once eggs are dry, remove tape,
