last weekend my roommate and i decided to embrace the easter spirit by indulging in (none other than) eggs – first we bought kinder surprise (most exciting), and then we tried our hands at making chinese marbled tea eggs! to my (kinder) surprise they turned out really well, both in terms of taste and presentation. mmm, scrumptious nostalgia.

here’s the recipe we followed – you should definitely give it a try if these ingredients are available to you. the most important component is the five-spice bag but above all, exercise extreme patience while the eggs soak. the longer they bathe in the concoction, the richer the taste, and the prettier the outcome.
