The Recipe:
Hard-boil several eggs.
Use a spoon to crack the shells outside, but do not remove.
Simmer cracked eggs in solution of black tea mixed with 5 Spice Seasoning.
Remove and store in refrigerator in solution for 1-3 days.
...I only left mine overnight...this may be the problem...
After which, when peeled, they are suppose to look like this.
...mine did not...

The #1 street food of Taiwan.
I will post pictures if my second attempt works out.
Until then...
TAH DAH!
