Chinese Tea Eggs Dec 27th 2011, 11:02 Tea eggs, also called marbled eggs, are distinctive looking and easy to make. Serve them as a snack or with a dim sum lunch, for breakfast Easter morning or during the Chinese New Year season. Tea Eggs Photo Cook Time: 2�hours, 30�minutes Total Time: 2�hours, 30�minutes Ingredients: 6 eggs 3 1/2 cups cold water, or as needed 1 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1/2 cup brewed black tea 2 star anise, broken into individual pieces 1 cinnamon stick Preparation: Place the eggs in a saucepan with the water, making sure that there is at least 1/2-inch of water above the eggs. Cover and bring to a rolling boil. Remove the saucepan from the element and let the eggs stand in the hot water for 15 - 20 minutes, until they are cooked. Remove the eggs and run them under cold running water to cool. (Reserve the water in the pan).   Tap the hard-boiled eggs gently with the back of a spoon, to make a series of cracks all over the eggshells, while making sure the shell remains intact. (If the shell does come off, don't worry - it just means that egg will have a darker color than the others).   Bring the water in the pan back to a boil. Add the salt, soy sauce, brewed black tea, star anise pieces, and the cinnamon stick. Add the eggs. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 2 hours. Turn off the heat and let the eggs sit in the hot liquid until ready to serve. Serves 6.
