Five Steps to cook perfect tea egg. (My Secret Recipe)         

Step One. You have to have at least one egg. If you have more eggs on hand, that’s great. But you have to make sure not to throw away your tea eggs if you really don't like the flavor.Grab a pot (I mean not a vessel pot or pottery), and get some water in there.

Step Two. Pour the secret sauce into the pot. What are exactly ingredients in my secret sauce? Of course, black tea! It doesn't matter what types of black tea you like. What else? Light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, star anise, bay leaves and cinnamon stick. If you don't have those sauces and spices, black tea and salt are basic condiments.  

Step Three. Let your lovely eggs swim in boiled water for 8-10 minutes.

Step Four. Take boiled eggs out and crack them. Don't mash them or crash them. Please be gentle and tough. How gentle is gentle? How tough is tough? Follow your heart.

Step Five. Put the cracked shell eggs back to the pot, and let them immerse into the secret sauce for the whole night.

It's time to enjoy your tea egg.
