Application
Hanseler: Put about 3 tablespoons of plant parts with 1 liter of water in an old pan and boil for 5 minutes. In the slightly cooled decoction put the eggs and hard boil as usual. Auro: Clean the eggs thoroughly with hot water before dyeing. Bring 3/4 liter of water per bag to a boil and then add the dye substance. Place eggs in the dye bath and hard boil for about 8 minutes. The contents of the bag are enough for 4-5 eggs. For strong colors, boil for 10 minutes. Poke eggs if necessary to prevent them from cracking.
