TL;DR
- A traditional, all-natural method for achieving marbled Easter eggs.
- Ingredients needed include onion skins, dried hibiscus (or tea), vinegar, cheesecloth, string, paper, vegetable oil, a pot, and water.
- Eggs are briefly soaked in vinegar, then wrapped in paper with onion skins and hibiscus, secured with cheesecloth and string.
- The wrapped eggs are boiled in water with additional onion skins and hibiscus for about 10 minutes after boiling begins.
- Eggs cool in the same water for about an hour, then are dried and can be polished with oil for shine.
- More onion skins result in a more intense color, while hibiscus enhances the marbled effect.
