Natural Way to Dye Easter Eggs
You can get some surprisingly rich colors from food products that you have in your home to dye your Easter eggs. If you want to forgo the commercial products available on the market and use natural dyes, here are some things you can try:
• Four cups of shredded cabbage and a quart of water make a blue hue.
• For an orange hue, add 4 tablespoons of water to paprika.
• Four cups of fresh or frozen spinach mixed with a quart of water make green.
• For mocha, use one quart of strongly brewed coffee.
Note: The above dyes should yield six colored eggs.
