- After boiling your eggs, do not peel them. Gently roll them around on a towel to create cracks in the shell, but you don't want to remove the shells. Just roll enough to crack the outer shell.
- Add warm water to deep bowls or coffee mugs. Add about 1/4 teaspoon of gel/paste food coloring and stir/whisk until dissolved.
- Place egg(s) into each of the bowls, making sure the eggs are covered with the water.
- Place the bowls into the refrigerator to soak for several hours (roughly 4) or up to overnight.
- Carefully peel eggs and rinse gently with cool water.
