Today when P stepped out of the house, I threw together the materials for this in half an hour. And left it there for a long while. And then it was done! Easy!
Tea Leaf Eggs
6 eggs
3 bags of black tea (chinese and english tea are both fine)
1 cinnamon stick (about 2 inches)
1 tsp chinese five spice powder
5 cloves
5 tbsp soy sauce
3 cups water
Boil eggs in plain water for about 3 minutes until solid.
Crack with the back of your spoon. These will form the marbled patterns on the eggs.
Put in the rest of the ingredients.
Simmer on low fire and steep for at least 2 hours.
DONE!
