The Tea Eggs need to be prepared a day or two in advance. They can marinate in the fridge as well for at least a day or two more. When you are ready to eat your eggs, whip up the fruit salad and serve together.
Eggs with shattered shells become flavorful through a long soothing spa treatment of black tea and a medley of spices. These traditional Chinese hard-boiled eggs are delightfully savory and lightly spiced. While I love to eat them, peeling the stain-glass shells is incredibly satisfying as they reveal a beautifully marked treasure. We use the Lapsang Souchong Black Tea because of the added smoky flavor, but a regular black tea will do as well.
Mix, match and toss ’em together. Any winter fruits will do including: local apples & pears, persimmons & citrus which may travel a distance for you to enjoy and a bit of tropical fruits such as pineapple and shreds of coconut. They are all brought together with simple lime and honey.
