If you have little ones, this might be a VERY fun project to see how the colors come out. Details follow.

Here are the basics for both hot water and cold water. Amount of time the eggs sit in the dye will affect the color.

Two different methods: a cold method and a hot method.

The cold method was employed for most of the pictured eggs. Just mix the ingredients in a non-staining bowl (ie: glass is great) and add hard boiled eggs. Let them sit until the desired color is achieved.

For the hot method, add the ingredients and raw eggs to a stainless steel pan, brought the mixture to a boil, reduced the heat and let simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit until eggs achieve the desired color.

NOTE: The eggs may take on the flavor of the coloring agent.
