Boiled tea eggs usually require the following materials:

-Duck eggs or chicken eggs

-Tea leaves (usually black tea, green tea or Pu'er tea)

-Spices such as star anise, dried tangerine peel, cinnamon, and Sichuan peppercorns (can be added according to personal taste)

-Salt, soy sauce (can be adjusted according to personal taste)

When cooking tea eggs, Boil the eggs or duck eggs first, then crack the shells with a spoon but do not peel them. Put the tea leaves, spices, salt and soy sauce into a pot, add water and bring to a boil, then add the cracked eggs. Simmer over low heat for 10-20 minutes to allow the flavor of tea and spices to penetrate into the egg skin, creating a unique taste and aroma.
