Dye Easter eggs with food and spices
Dye your Easter eggs with items already in your kitchen. Follow the sisters' guide of techniques and ideas for creating the most enchanting Easter eggs.
April 2023
How to.
You can use all sorts of things for naturally dying your eggs. Experiment with skins and spices.
1. Boil the colourant in one litre of water for about 15 minutes.
2. Add the eggs to the water when cold and let them draw colour from the water. The longer they infuse, the more intense the colour will be.
3. Lastly, blow the eggs.
Magical patterns.
You can create lovely patterns with oil, sticky tape, or flowers. Only your imagination sets the limit.
To the right.
With paper tape, you can cover the areas which you wish to keep uncoloured and with this method create a decorative pattern.
To the left.
Use a nylon stocking to secure flowers, leaves, petals, onion rings, or something else to the egg while it draws colour. The imprint will be lovely.

Dye with red onion.
Onion skins result in a beautiful brown colour. Here, the skins from five onions have been used. The eggs have dyed in water for 48 hours.
The onions can still be used for cooking even after the dry layer has been removed.

Just make sure to leave the onions in the refrigerator afterwards.

Yellow with turmeric.
The pretty yellow colour can be obtained with turmeric or curry spice mix. Curry spice mix contains different spices, but it is the turmeric that adds the yellow colour.
You can choose either the turmeric root or grounded turmeric or curry. Boil three teaspoons of ground spice or three roots cut in thin slices in one litre of water. Remember to use gloves. These eggs have infused in water for 48 hours.
Dashing designs.
The pattern on these eggs is made with flowers and paper tape.
Beautiful blueberries.
If you have some leftover blueberries which are no longer good to eat, use them for dying eggs. With a little bit of oil, you can get some lovely spotted and marbled eggs.
Add basil.
Get olive-coloured eggs with dried basil. Here, three tablespoons of basil are added to one litre of water. Oil was used for the spotted eggs, and they have infused in water for 48 hours, while the other eggs have infused in water for half a day.
Enchanting Easter wreath.
By gluing the blown eggs and some feathers onto a wreath, you will easily get a beautiful and eye-catching wreath.
Beet-coloured.
Grate one large beet, or more, depending on how many eggs you wish to colour. Boil the grated beets in a litre of water for 15 minutes and leave the eggs in the red, cooled water. To obtain the pretty pattern, place the eggs at the bottom of the bowl of beets, so they are fully covered.
Dip the eggs in a bowl with two tablespoons of vinegar, before you dry them.

This will ensure a long-lasting colouring.

Tea and coffee.
Make a pot of strong black tea and leave your eggs in the cooled tea. You can also place the eggs in coffee grounds with a bit of water. Both methods can result in delightful colours, but the tea will ensure a stronger and more golden brown colouring.
Surprising avocado.
Avocados will result in lovely rose-coloured eggs.
The skin and stone from the avocado will colour the eggs in a rose or red colour, depending on how long you let the eggs infuse. Use stones and skin from three avocados and cut it all into smaller bits. Boil in a litre of water for about 30 minutes. These eggs have infused in the dyed water for 48 hours.
