Easter eggs

Here in Greece we have the custom to dye the eggs in Easter. Red is the most common colour. Also there are green, yellow, blue dyes.

This is the dye i used.

Inside of the package was the dye, gloves and the egg's stickers.

In the back of the package were the instructions, which are in greek. So let me translate them for you and at the same time I will show you some photos.
It says that this dye is for 40 eggs, but we dyed only 7.

The preparation started one day before the dying because the eggs had to cool down.

First i washed the eggs, with water only.

Then i put them in a pot and then i added the water.

Then i added some salt. And let them boil on low heat for 1 hour.

I let them to cool on a plate.

I used the same pot for the dye. I put 1.5L lukewarm water (30 Celsius). 4 tablespoons vinegar of wine, the egg's dye
and mix it very well.

I put the eggs in it only for 3 minutes. I put two pieces of paper on the plate, and i put the eggs one by one on it until they dry completely.

I change the paper once to dry faster

Then i put the stickers on them and i used a small amount of olive oil to polish them.

I found this ladybug as decoration.

Note: in case it gets colored in the broken eggs, they can be consumed without fear because the dye is allowed for food (confectionery, etc.) in case the hands get dirty from the dye, rinse with plenty of water

Those are boiled eggs, so you can actually eat them when you want to, like as breakfast, lunch or dinner.
