What works for me – pressure cooker eggs. Good in general (easy to peel) and for this recipe in particular. Steam basket + stand, low pressure, 2-3 minutes. I feel like hard boiled eggs don’t really benefit from the marinade, as the yolk doesn’t absorb anything.

In reply to Sherry. You can use something very generic like Lipton. Because the other ingredients (soy sauce etc) are quite strong, so the tea doesn't have to be a very special one. I usually use black tea, but you can experiment with different types of tea such as pu'erh as well.

What kind of tea should we be using? Something super generic like Lipton’s or something like pu’erh or keemun?

In reply to S. You don't need super fancy black tea. The regular tea bags will work.

Can you be more specific about the tea? Is it any black tea, Chinese black tea? I was given tea eggs as a gift once and loved them. Looking forward to making these

In reply to Annette Beazell. You can refrigerate the eggs for 1 to 2 weeks in the marinade. I wouldn't keep them on the kitchen counter.

How long will these eggs keep on the counter or in the refrigerator?
