How To Dye Eggs With Food Coloring
How To Dye Eggs With Food Coloring and other pantry items. The perfect alternative to using Easter decorating kits.
Ingredients
- ½ Cup Boiling Water
- 1 Teaspoon Vinegar
- Food Coloring in various colors
Instructions
- Fill cups, bowls or containers with the enough water to cover the egg (about 1/2 cup), add 1 teaspoon of white vinegar and food coloring (see amount of drops in note above).
- Place the egg on a slotted or regular spoon and dunk into the mixture, turning occasionally so both sides are colored.
- Keep in the liquid up to 5 mins or longer for darker colors. Carefully remove the egg and set it aside to dry.
- Repeat with additional eggs until you have all of your Easter eggs dyed.
Notes
Cover your work surface with towels or newspapers to protect them being stained.
Each color will need enough boiling water to cover the egg completely once submerged.
Using liquid colors will require up to 20 drops, using gel colors requires 1-3 drops depending on depth of color.
Peeled or unpeeled eggs will keep in a fridge for up to 5 days. If unpeeled, keep in an airtight container.
