- 10 drops food coloring (per color)
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar (per color)
- 1/2 cup boiling water (per color)
- For each dye bath combine 1/2 cup boiling water with 1 tsp vinegar and 10 drops of food coloring in a bowl. Start with 5 drops red and 5 drops yellow, for orange for example, or 6 drops blue and 4 drops green for turquoise.
- Dip hard-cooked eggs in dye bath for 3-5 minutes, extend time for richer color. Try using tongs to dip only half an egg in one color, then dip other half in a different color.
- Use tongs or a slotted spoon to remove eggs and place on wax paper to dry, blot any excess with a paper towel.
- If you plan to eat your Easter eggs, never leave them unrefrigerated at any point for more than 2 hours.
