Eggs are very nutritious. The classic method of eggs is tea eggs, which can be found in breakfast shops in streets and lanes. Chinese New Year is a necessary dish for entertaining relatives and friends. When guests arrive, they make tea and serve tea eggs first to show their welcome, but you still need to master several skills if you want to cook delicious tea eggs at home.
First of all, tea is essential for cooking tea eggs, and the use of tea is exquisite. It is best to cook tea eggs with black tea, which is fragrant and sweet, and the color of cooked tea eggs will be more beautiful. Moreover, black tea is fermented tea, which is warm and does not hurt the stomach. If it is cooked with green tea, it will have a little bitter taste. Moreover, green tea is cold and not suitable for patients with weak health and stomach diseases.
The second point is that the spices used to cook tea eggs are exquisite, so you don't need too much, which will cover up the tea fragrance. I usually use the five most common spices, namely star anise, cinnamon, pepper, fennel and fragrant leaves. Simple spices can make tea eggs taste better.
Finally, keep in mind the principle of boiling tea eggs less and soaking more, that is, the tea eggs will not be boiled for a long time, but if you want the tea eggs to be delicious and tasty, you must soak them for a long time, and you can soak them for one night before eating them the next day, so that the boiled tea eggs will not be old but tasty. Friends who like them can try it!

The method of spiced tea eggs
1. Wash the prepared eggs in water, and there may be bacteria on the surface of the eggs, which needs to be washed several times;
2. After the eggs are cleaned, put them into the pot and add a spoonful of salt. Boiled eggs should be cooked in cold water. Eggs cooked in hot water are easy to burst, and the boiled tea eggs are incomplete. After boiling in cold water, turn to medium heat, and cook for 8 minutes at a fixed time. At this time, the eggs may not be cooked. It doesn't matter. They need to be marinated later. Take them out and put them in clear water for cooling.

4. It is recommended not to use an iron pot to cook tea eggs, but to use a stainless steel pot or casserole. Add the spices prepared above to the prepared pot, which I like to put in a tea bag, and then add a little rock sugar, 2g salt, 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, and an appropriate amount of water. Boil the water with strong fire, and the taste of the marinated soup can be slightly increased, so that the boiled tea eggs will taste just right.
5. Knock the eggs when cooking the marinated soup. You can knock them gently with the help of a spatula, so that the cracks are more and more finely broken, which makes it easier to taste. You can also knock the eggs with each other to break the shell.
6. Add the cracked eggs into the marinated soup after boiling, and boil it again. After boiling, continue to cook for 1 minutes, and the cooking time can be a little longer, so that the eggs are more tasty, and the tea flavor and five flavors in the marinated soup perfectly cover up the fishy smell of the eggs;
7. Don't worry about eating the boiled eggs, you can soak them for one night to make them more delicious.
8. After the salted tea eggs are peeled off, there are beautiful marbles on the surface, which are salty and fragrant, and the tea fragrance is rich;
