The Aimless Musings of a College Freshman

Cross-file under “uses of natural materials” and ”Easter-related things”:

To dye eggs using natural materials, consider using these food items:

• purple cabbage — turns white eggs blue; brown eggs = green
• red onion skin — makes a lavender or red coloring
• beets — turn white eggs pink; brown eggs = maroon
• yellow onion skin — turns white eggs orange; brown eggs = rusty red
• ground turmeric — gives a yellow coloring
• Celestial Seasonings’ Red Zinger herbal tea — provides a lavender color

 Other tea varieties, coffee, blackberries, and grape juice are among other items that will stain eggshells.
