How to Dye Your Easter Eggs Naturally

-
Make the Dye: In separate pots, add 2 cups of water and 2 tablespoons of white vinegar. Bring to a boil and add the chosen natural dye ingredient (e.g., chopped red cabbage for blue, turmeric for yellow, etc.). Simmer for 20–30 minutes.
-
Strain and Cool: Strain the liquid into bowls and let it cool.

Dye the Eggs: Submerge the boiled eggs into the dye. Leave them for at least 30 minutes, but for deeper colors, refrigerate overnight.
