This snack puts a new spin on plain hard-boiled eggs. Watch for the “fault”

lines traveling down the cooked egg.

Ingredients

6hard-boiledeggs, cooled

2 cup brewed black tea

1dried tangerine peel

1cinnamon stick

31% cups water

1. Tap each egg very gently with the back of a spoon, until tiny lines form. Try not to actually crack the eggs.

2. Add eggs, black tea, tangerine peel, and cinnamon stick to 32 cups water and bring to a boil. Sim-mer, covered, for 2 hours. Turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit in the liquid for a few more hours before serving.

3. To serve, remove the shell and cut into quarters.
