Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 8 eggs; 3 cups water; 2 tea bags black; 5 tablespoons soy sauce; 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce; 1 cinnamon stick; 2 star anise; 1/2 teaspoon five spice powder; 1 teaspoon pepper corn cracked black; 2 strips dried mandarin peel optional; 1 teaspoon sugar

Servings: persons

8 eggs
3 cups water
2 tea bags black
5 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 cinnamon stick
2 star anise
1/2 teaspoon five spice powder
1 teaspoon pepper corn cracked black
2 strips dried mandarin peel optional
1 teaspoon sugar

1
Wash the eggs and place them in a pot.
2
Cover eggs with water then bring to boil for about 10 minutes or until eggs are fully cooked.
3
Pour the hot water out and rinse eggs with cold water.
4
Tap gently on shell of each egg with the back of a spoon. Make sure the shells are cracked all around. Do not peel the eggs.
5
The cracks will let the spiced tea seep through the shells and flavour the eggs. This will also create the marble effect.
6
Slowly place the cracked eggs and all marinade ingredients into the slow cooker pot. Let it slow cook for 8 hours or overnight. If you do not have a slow cooker, put the marinade ingredients, cracked eggs and water enough to cover eggs into a regular pot. Boil and turn heat to low. Let simmer for about 2 hours or longer.
7
Serve warm or let eggs sit in marinade for a few more hours or overnight to develop a darker marble effect and deeper flavour.
