Tea Eggs

Description
Tasty hard boiled eggs that have been steeped in complex flavors of star anise, soy sauce and black tea. They are delightfully marbled afterward, a real delight to display.
Ingredients
- 6 whole Eggs
- 3 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 1 bag Black Tea
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 4 pieces Star Anise
- ½ sticks Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Cracked Peppercorns (optional)
- 2 strips Orange Peel (optional)
Preparation
Put the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water about 1″ deep. Bring to a gentle boil, simmer two minutes.
Take out the eggs and cool. Then with the back of a spoon, carefully make dents all over the eggs without removing any of the egg shell. The goal is to let liquid in, not to destroy the eggshell.
Now put the eggs back in the pot again, adding the remaining ingredients. Cover and bring to a gentle simmer again for 2 hours.
You can leave them to steep overnight for a more pronounced marbling effect.
Drain the eggs. Serve hot or cold, and with the shell or without.

Tea eggs are an appetizer displayed in a bowl or on a platter.
