Ingredients

12 large eggs

Egg Dye

750 ml water
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons black tea leaves
2 star anise
1 cinnamon stick
1 tablespoon orange zest optional
Optional: One drop of black gel based food dye

Deviled Egg Mixture

12 Egg Yolks
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1-2 teaspoons yellow mustard
1-2 tablespoons Wickles relish
1 green onion chopped (green and white part)
pinch of salt and pepper
pinch of garlic powder

Instructions

To Boil The Eggs

In a large saucepan, place the eggs and fill with enough water to cover them. Bring the cold water to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 12 minutes. Turn off the heat, drain the water, and leave to cool.
When cool, crack with the back of a spoon all over, but do not remove the shells. Place the cracked eggs in a vessel, such as a jar or tupperware where they will steep overnight in the refrigerator.

To Create The Dye

In a large saucepan, combine the water, soy sauce, spices, orange zest, and black tea. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer 1 hour. Remove from the heat and cool fully before proceeding.
Pour the homemade egg dye over the hard-boiled eggs and seal with a lid. Refrigerate overnight.
The next day, peel the eggs and cut them in half, reserving the egg yolks in a small bowl.

To Make The Deviled Eggs

Add the mayonnaise, mustard, wickles, green onion, and salt and pepper, to the cooked yolks and mash well until smooth.
Fill the eggs with a small scoop, or transfer the egg filling to a sandwich baggie, snip one corner with scissors, and pipe the filling into the eggs.
Top with fresh green onion, parsley, or chives if you wish.

Notes
