There are many natural ingredients you can use to dye Easter eggs in different colours. Here are some options:
- Red/pink: use beets or cranberries. Boil them in water until the water is deep red, then strain and let cool. Add white vinegar and soak eggs in the mixture for several hours.
- Yellow: use turmeric or saffron. Boil the spice in water until the water is a deep yellow, then strain and let cool. Add white vinegar and soak eggs in the mixture for several hours.
- Blue: use red cabbage. Boil chopped red cabbage in water until the water is blue, then strain and let cool. Add white vinegar and soak eggs in the mixture for several hours.
- Purple: use blueberries or blackberries. Boil them in water until the water is a deep purple, then strain and let cool. Add white vinegar and soak eggs in the mixture for several hours.
- Brown: use coffee or tea. Brew a strong pot of coffee or tea, let it cool, and add white vinegar. Soak eggs in the mixture for several hours.
Note that the longer you soak the eggs in the dye mixture, the deeper the colour will be. You can also experiment with different combinations of ingredients to create unique colours. —Vita Daily
