How to Naturally Whiten Eggs
No white eggs? No problem. Learn how to turn brown eggs into soft, naturally white ones that are perfect for Easter decorating and dyeing.
Ingredients
- 10 brown eggs
- 400 ml alcohol vinegar
- 800 ml water
Instructions
- In a large pot (about 3 liters), combine the water and vinegar, then add the eggs. Bring everything to a boil.
- Cook for about 15 minutes. During the last few minutes, foam and bubbles will start forming, and this is completely normal. Skim off the foam with a spoon or strainer as it appears.
- Once cooked, transfer the eggs to cold water and let them cool just enough so you can handle them.
- While still warm, gently rub each egg with a rough cloth or sponge until the brown outer layer comes off and the shell turns white. This should come off quite easily.
- Once cleaned, the eggs are ready to be dyed or decorated as desired!
