Slow Simmered Tea Stained Eggs are a delightful dish that blends rich flavors and cultural heritage, perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 pieces Eggs (Free-range or cage-free are best for flavor.)
- 2 cups Onion Peels (You can substitute with 2 yellow onions.)
- 3 tablespoons Darjeeling Tea (Loose leaf or brewed tea is acceptable.)
- 4 pieces Cardamom Pods (Optional, for added warmth.)
- 8 cups Water (Ensure it covers ingredients by at least 2 inches.)
Instructions
- Start by placing eggs, onion peels, Darjeeling tea, and water into a large pot. Stir gently to mix everything well.
- Ensure that the water covers the ingredients by at least 2 inches to achieve an even infusion of flavors.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to very low and allow it to simmer for 8 hours, or overnight, for the best flavor.
- About two hours before the cooking time is done, carefully crack the eggshells on a hard surface and return them to the pot.
- Once cooked, serve the eggs hot, warm, or chilled according to your preference.
