Ingredients
Color Kitchen Easter Egg Coloring Kit
12-24 eggs
2 tbsp white vinegar
masking tape
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.
Cut the masking tape into thin strips. Arrange the tape on the eggs to create stripes. Make sure that the tape is pressed down firmly on the eggs.
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.
Put the eggs in the cups and turn them over gently with a spoon to cover all sides. Dip quickly for pastel colors. Leave for several minutes for deeper shades. Take the eggs out with a spoon and set in the tray or empty egg carton to dry.
Remove the masking tape.
