Colouring Easter Eggs

Colouring Easter eggs is a family tradition. It's simple, but so satisfying.

Boil eggs for four minutes, drain the water. The eggs will continue cooking in the warm pot and in the hot colouring solution.
Boil water in a tea kettle.
Set out a mug for each colour you want to make.
Put two tablespoons of white vinegar in each mug.
Add several drops of food colouring in each mug.
Fill each mug halfway with boiling water.
Using a spoon, take an egg out of the pot and gently place it in the mug. Remove the spoon.
Leave the egg in the solution until it turns the colour you want.
Blow on the coloured egg to dry it off completely. Any wet spots will blemish the beautiful egg so turn it and blow on all sides to make sure it’s dry.
Place in a bowl or basket and refrigerate until you are ready to eat them.
I like to serve my coloured eggs with hot cross buns from our local bakery or raisin bread toast.
