Did your grandma used to dye Easter eggs with onion leaves too? This year I decided to keep this tradition and dye my eggs with natural, homemade dyes only. But maybe you would like something different than the onion yellow eggs. Something blue, what do you think?
Pentru a obtine oua turquoise in cel mai natural mod posibil aveti nevoie de:
To get turquoise blue eggs in the most natural way possible you'll need:
1. un borcan, 2. o cana de varza rosie tocata, 3. oua albe sau galbene fierte tare; 4. 2 linguri de otet de mere, alb
1. a jar; 2. une cup chopped red cabbage; 3. white or brown eggs hard boiled; 4. 2 tablespoons white vinegar
Iata si pasii:
And here are the steps:
1. puneti la fiert 2 cani jumatate de apa in care adaugati varza tocata si lasati sa dea in 2-3 clocote, cam 15 min
2. strecurati fiertura intr-un borcan, atentie sa fie unul cu pereti mai grosi sa nu se sparga, adaugati otetul si amestecati
3. scufundati ouale cu grija in apa colorata.
4. pentru o nuanta pastelata de albastru lasati-le in jur de o ora, pentru un albastru turquoise cum am obtinut eu 4 ore sunt de ajuns; daca folositi oua maro culoarea va fi mai intensa; scoateti ouale si lasati-le la uscat fara sa le atingeti prea mult
1. in a pot bring to a boil 2 and a half cups water and 1 cup red cabbage, let it simmer for 15 min.
2. strain the mix in a jar, be careful not to break it with the hot liquid, add 2 spoons white vinegar and stir
3. carefully immerse the eggs in the colored liquid
4. for a pale blue let them sit in the natural dye for about an hour, for a more saturated turquoise like mine 4 hours should be enough; if you use brown eggs the color will be richer; take the eggs out and let them dry without touching them too much
Spor!
Enjoy!
