First, boil the eggs, then soak them in cold water, and then knock the eggs out of cracks. Put water in the pot and let the soy sauce, salt and sugar, add tea leaves, star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon and boil, put in eggs, boil over high heat, turn off the heat and soak.

Ingredients】Eggs, tea leaves, bay leaves, cinnamon, star anise, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, salt, sugar

Directions

Prepare 10 eggs, cook in a pot under cold water for 10 minutes on high heat, then turn off the heat. Remove the eggs from the boiling water, place them in cold water and soak for 5 minutes.

Pour water into the pot, put in light soy sauce to increase freshness, dark soy sauce to color, then add an appropriate amount of salt and sugar, you can taste the taste, and then put in the 4 kinds of seasonings just prepared to increase the flavor, after the fire is boiled, turn off the fire and simmer for two minutes to brew the tea fragrance. At this time, the house was already full of incense.

Put all the eggs in the soup.

Cook on high heat with the eggs for 10 minutes, and the soup rises with small bubbles holding the tea leaves, while the eggs are absorbing the soup.

Turn off the heat, and you can see that the cracks have been soaked in the soup, and the lines are already very obvious.

Cover and let the eggs soak in the soup for more than 4 hours to allow the eggs to absorb the flavor.

The texture is more obvious, and then it can be served in a bowl, or you can continue to soak in the soup!
