To hard cook eggs: Place eggs in a saucepan and add enough cold water to cover at least 1 inch above the eggs. Heat rapidly to boiling and remove from heat. Cover the pan and allow to stand for 22 to 24 minutes. Immediately cool the eggs in cold water.
Make a vegetable dye solution by adding a teaspoon of vinegar to 1/2 cup of boiling water. Drop in food coloring and stir. The longer the egg is kept in the dye, the deeper the color will be.
Add a teaspoonful of salad oil to a dye mixture and mix in the oil well. This results in a dye that produces swirls of color Immerse the egg in the dye for a fews minutes.
Draw a design on an egg with a crayon before dying. The dye will not take to the areas with the crayon marks and the design will show through..
