Aight, this is an update on the tea eggs I was talking about the other day. So I decided to try making some today. Heres some trial-and-error I had to deal with:
1) 4 yellow Lipton tea bags only manage to add little flavors in 8hrs of broiling. Mental note: use black tea leaves next time.
2) 1 tablespoon of soy sauce is NOT enough. Prepare to add a good 30-50mL for a batch of 10 eggs.
3) 3 aniseeds would be better than 2.
4) Prepare to add more salt and 5-spice pepper according to personal taste.
I'm letting the eggs sit overnight. We'll see how they are tomorrow.
*Update: The eggs have sat overnight (a good 24hrs), and the flavors only manage to penetrate about half way in. Use more soy sauce and tea leaves next time.
**Update 2: I left another patch for 48hrs. The results are similar to those sitting for 24hrs.
