I thought this recipe sounded very interesting. This morning "Easter" I boiled 18 eggs...14 for deviled eggs and 4 for your recipe. My family is so mad at me for not making All of the eggs with your recipe. The Tea Eggs not only looked beautiful, but tasted Wonderful! Thank you so much for an incredible post 55555555!
