- 2 Tbsp. Turmeric
- 2 tsp. Vinegar
Bring water to a boil.
Add vegetable, skins or turmeric and the amount of vinegar that each recipe calls for.
Boil for about 5-10 minutes to bring out the color from that item.
Allow to cool before pouring over top of the egg.
Place in the refrigerator for 1-2 days depending on how deep you would like your eggs to dye.
Remove eggs from dye, rinse, allow to dry on a none absorbent surface like a drying rack or wax paper.
Store in the refrigerator.
