By stancec44
Basic recipe for Easter egg dye • 6 uncooked eggs • Dyeing material: berries, vegetable peelings, etc
- Grape juice :
- Dye sources, and the colors they produce
- Following are the dye sources I’ve found to yield the richest colors. Remember to use only edible plants or portions of plants (no rhubarb leaves, for example).
- Onion skins marbleized oranges and yellows
- Onion skins with unsprayed rose petals peachy hues with green or yellow tints
- Shredded red cabbage midnight blue and teal
- Beet root brown with a purple cast
- Beet tops dove gray
- Spinach pale green
- Carrots yellow with olive overtones
- Carrot tops soft gold
- Blue potatoes muted teal
- deep lavender (for a lovely crystallized sugar coating, let the egg dry without rinsing)
- Blueberries (frozen is fine) deep blue
- Raspberries (frozen is fine) light fuchsia
- Blackberries (frozen is fine) plum
- Coffee milk-chocolate brown
- Black tea reddish tan
- Cinnamon subdued mahogany
- Paprika light orange
- Turmeric vivid gold
- NOTE: Beware of using cayenne. When it is boiled in water, its vapors permeate the air and can irritate
