2 qrts distilled water
½ cup white vinegar
3-4 Tbsp Turmeric (yellow)
3-4 Tbsp Light Chili Powder (rustic orange)
3-4 Tbsp Beet Root Powder (light pink)
3-4 Tbsp Hibiscus Flower (dark purple)
1 dozen hard-cooked white eggs
Bring distilled water to a boil in a large pot.
While the water heats, place 3 to 4 Tablespoons of each spice or botanical in a separate heat-safe and stain-resistant container (roughly 1-quart capacity). Add 2 Tablespoons of white vinegar.
To each container, carefully add 16 ounces (2 cups) of boiling water and stir. Let each mixture steep for 10 to 15 minutes to develop color. Place 3 eggs into each of four colored liquids and gently stir and set aside. After 20 minutes, cover each container and refrigerate for 5 to 8 hours to maximize color development.
Remove the dyed eggs from containers and set aside for 20 to 25 minutes to dry before handling. For the hibiscus-dyed eggs, first rinse them under running water to remove any flower solids that may have adhered to the egg if necessary.
