The natural, traditional egg-decorating method is to dye the eggs after they have been boiled, so you can then enjoy a colorful (and very edible) egg during your Easter meal! Boiling the egg in a mix of water and beetroot juice will add vibrant color to your Easter eggs. Also worth trying: curry powder (for yellow eggs), a few drops of soy sauce (gives a brown color)... For an even more original approach, there are marbled eggs : all you have to do is wrap the eggs in wide strips of red onion skin before cooking (tying it fast with food-grade string). Then, boil the eggs: when they come out of the water, the eggs have taken on red-brown marbled look. You may also simply tie string around the eggs before boiling them to obtain an original striped effect.
