- natural non-coloured string
- butter (optional)
- beetroot water (optional) or spinach water (optional)

- Boil the eggs for about 5-7 minutes.
- Take off the heat and allow to cool in the water.
- Peel away the string, aluminium foil, onion skins and arrange the coloured eggs in a basket or egg holder - for the centre of the Easter Breakfast, Tea or Brunch table.
- You can polish the eggs with a bit of butter to deepen the colours and give them a gloss.
