In reply to Jenny J. In winter, it can be kept at room temperature, but if it is summer, it must be placed in the refrigerator when soaking to prevent the eggs from going bad.

Should the eggs be kept at room temperature while they are soaking? Thanks for the recipe!

This is trivial but the number of pieces made is made is a inconsistent. The recipe calls for 80 10 eggs but it says it makes 6 tea eggs.

In reply to Andrew S.. Five Spice Powder should work fine in theory. But I am not sure about the exact amount.

In reply to The Kitchenmaid. Crack the eggs after they’re cooked, before you soak them in the seasoning liquid concoction! Do not crack the eggs when they’re raw!!!

We love these around Halloween and Easter time. As pretty as they are delicious, a unique take on “dyed”eggs. We love how they look almost ancient.

In reply to Mei. You need to crack the shells more heavily to break the membrane. It happened to me too.
