3. Bring slowly to a boil with enough water to cover them. After 10 mites lift the eggs out and place in cold water.

4. When eggs are cool enough to handle, gently crash the shells with the back of a spoon until the entire shell is a network of cracks but do not peel it!

5. Return eggs in the pot; add teabags. Continue to boil until almost all the water has evaporated and the eggs are dark brown. This step takes about 2-3 hours. Stir occasionally during cooking time!

6. Peel eggs before serving.
