Traditionally, Easter eggs are dyed using onion peels. This is a natural dye that produces a color that is as close to red as possible.
Unnoticed, tradition has fallen into the clutches of industry, and now housewives are offered to paint eggs in all conceivable and inconceivable colors, but with the help of chemistry.
Expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" Yulia Arkhipova , a cook and fourth-class baker, told how to paint eggs on
Easter in different colors without chemicals and onion peels.
Yellow
Turmeric gives a rich yellow color. Simply dissolve 30-40 grams of turmeric in one liter of water, add 2 tablespoons of vinegar (9%) and 1 teaspoon of salt.
Bring water to a boil, cook for 15 minutes. The longer, the richer the color.
And if you add a bag of chamomile tea to the broth, you will get a lemon color.
Green/olive
Mix 2 tablespoons of turmeric and about 5 tablespoons of hibiscus tea in cold water, add 2 tablespoons of vinegar.
Add salt, eggs and cook for 15 minutes. Leave the eggs in the solution for at least 30 minutes.
Violet
Just brew hibiscus tea, let it brew and put boiled eggs (only in white shells) into it. Keep for at least 10 minutes.
