Ingredients
1
dozen
eggs, hard-boiled
2
cups
water
2
cups
fresh blueberries
1
tsp.
distilled white vinegar
Instructions
Use a medium saucepan, pour in two cups of water, and bring to a boil.
Once the water is boiling, add two cups of blueberries, cover the pan, and reduce the heat. Simmer the water and blueberries for 10 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and use a strainer to pour the water into a heat-safe glass jar. Discard the blueberry waste.
Add one teaspoon of distilled white vinegar to the water, and then set it aside and let it cool to room temperature.
While the blueberry dye cools, hard-boil one dozen eggs and allow them to cool fully before dying.
Soak each of the eggs in the dye mixture for at least 3-5 minutes. Use a spoon to turn each egg as needed to make sure it gets dyed on all sides.
When done, carefully remove all of the eggs and place them on a wire rack to drip dry.
