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.
