Tea Eggs

Ingredients:


6 eggs
2 tablespoons premium dark soy sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon (or more) black tea leaves
4 pieces star anises
small strip of dried mandarin peel
Around 6 cups of water (will vary according to pot sizes)


Directions:

1. Place unshelled eggs in pot of cold water - cold water should just about cover eggs. Bring water to a boil, then simmer for 2 minutes.





2. Remove the eggs. With a knife, tap each egg to slightly crack the shells in two or three places.





3. In the same pot, add all the other ingredients, stir, cover and simmer for 2 hours, adding water when necessary. Drain, serve eggs hot or cold. Enjoy!
