There will be a lot of dyed eggs for Easter, but if you're going to eat them, you usually have to remove the colorful part first. Not so with these eggs! Jayne at Barefoot Kitchen Witch adapted the recipe for Chinese tea eggs to dye the edible parts of hard boiled eggs in bright holiday colors. You can serve them peeled in all their neon glory.

So if you want to use different non-tea colours, just boil yor eggs and then put them in hot water with the colours you want. The adding of some salt to the water (just a snuff of it, no more) is still a good idea.
And make sure you take colouring that is edible instead of poisonous...
@Evilbeagle- Then you're in luck: You are one of those lucky bastards that can do this the whole year round just as you fancy some nice coloured eggs! The whole rest of us will have to wait till it's Easter again before we can have such lovely eggs... ;-)
I'm giddy that she's featured here - she's hit the big time! :D
I'd just like to point out that "The tea is the colouring agent in the Chinese receipts" sounds like code.
