Notes

Notes
Use your judgement while coloring the eggs. Timing vary slightly based on the ingredients used. The taste of the eggs did not change when I tried, but other ingredients such as turmeric fun while coloring these by painting them with a brush or making splatters using a toothbrush. So be creative! Don't just try this during Easter. This is a great way to wow your guests on other occasions as well!
