Method
- Add water to a medium pot and bring it to a boil. Gently drop in the eggs and boil for 7 minutes.
- Transfer the hard-boiled eggs out of the hot boiling water and rinse them with cold water.
- Using the back of a teaspoon, gently tap the eggshell to crack the shell.
- Return the eggs to the water and add the remaining ingredients.
- Bring the tea mixture to a boil and immediately turn the heat to low.
- Simmer for at least 1 hour (the longer the simmering, the better the taste). Add more water if needed.
- Leave the tea eggs in the mixture overnight to develop more flavour.
