Every Easter the custom wants us to dye our Easter eggs red but also other shades. In Greece, red is the traditional color for our Easter eggs and that’s what we love the most.
However, chemical dyes, they may say that they are friendly to the body, but in recent years they are less and less trusted. So they try natural ways with onions and beets but the result is not what they are looking for.
This is the secret to bright red color
Materials
We will need:
Eggs preferably white
50 grams of Rice
½ glass of wine vinegar
2 tablespoons of salt
Roll net
Thread
Tulle
Seed oil for polishing
1 gauze
Procedure
We prefer white eggs because they are easier to dye and get a nicer atmosphere when we dye them. So we leave them at room temperature and do not wash them. We take the net that we fill the meat roll, take an egg, put it inside the net and tie it from the bottom side.
Stretch the net over the egg and tie on the top side as well. Cut the net and repeat the same process with as many eggs as we want to dye. After we have finished with the eggs, put the rice in a pot. 180 ml of water, turn on the heat and stir.
As soon as it starts to boil, lower the heat and let the mixture boil for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, we close the eye and strain the water, After we strained our dye, we put the rice in a cloth and put it in the pot.
We will put it back into the pot and start boiling. Pour 1/2 glass of wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons of salt into the pot, mix and wait for the mixture to come to a boil.
As soon as it starts to boil, lower the heat and add the eggs. Let it boil for 12-14 minutes. After 12-14 minutes, turn off the heat and leave the eggs in for another 20 minutes.
Then drain them, let them cool and remove the net. We put seed oil in a gauze and rub them to make them shine and they are ready.
Happy Easter!
