[pictured eggs were gift from our friends Gosia & Marcin]
INGREDIENTS
eggs (washed)
plenty of white onion shells / skins
piece of candle or small birthday cake candle- optional
METHOD
Draw designs on eggs with the candle, place them together with onion shells in a pot of water and cook until eggs will achieve desired shade, about 30-40 minutes. Places with design drawn by candle should remain not dyed.
You can also hard boil eggs first, crack the shell a little bit and then place in the pot full of water and onions shells and simmer for about 30 minutes. Let them cool down before peeling. This way you will get marble effect on the eggs, similar to this one posted here: Marble Eggs, but reddish-brown.
