How to Make Colored Easter Eggs with Food Coloring
Place the eggs in a saucepan with cold water, bring to a boil, and cook for 10 minutes. Cool them well under cold water and dry them with paper towels.
Meanwhile, prepare the colors. Use a small bowl for each color you want to use, and fill it halfway with hot water. Add a teaspoon of vinegar and a few drops of food coloring (the more you add, the more intense the color will be).
Using a spoon, gently immerse the egg or eggs, if you want to do two together. Leave them submerged for 10 minutes, then remove the egg from the bowl, place it on a piece of paper towel, and let it dry well before handling.
