Equipment
- 6 sandwich bags
- latex or nitrile gloves optional
Ingredients
- 6 hard boiled eggs
- 3 cups uncooked rice divided
- liquid food coloring as needed
- ¾ tsp white vinegar optional
Instructions
- Pour ½ cup of uncooked rice into a sandwich bag.
- Pour 10-20 drops of liquid food coloring into the bag of rice, along with up to ⅛ teaspoon of white vinegar (optional). Seal the bag and shake the rice around the spread out the food coloring more evenly.
- Place an egg in the bag, seal it up again and gently shake the bag around until the egg is fully covered with food coloring.
- Unseal the bag, carefully remove the egg (wearing gloves if desired to prevent the food coloring from staining skin) and place it on a plate to dry.
