Tea Egg recipe
6-12 hardboiled eggs
water
3 black tea bags
1/4C of soy sauce
2 tbsp of sugar

Crack the eggs all around but do not peel. Put in a pot and add enough water cover the eggs. Add the tea, soy sauce and sugar. Boil on low for 20 to 30 minutes. Enjoy hot or cold. I like it cold better and i think it taste better when it sits in the sauce over night.
