IMPORTANT: Tie off the top of the cheesecloth very tightly with the thread so that onion skin is hugging the egg. (no social distance here)

Repeat with the rest of the eggs.

Then fill your pot with cold water, add the vinegar and salt.

Then placed your wrapped eggs into the water.

Be sure that water is covering the eggs. (or water should be above eggs about 1 inch)

Add greed food color to the pot. Use the spoon just to mix color into water evenly or the best you can.

COOKING THE EGGS

Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium.

Simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes. (depends how hard you want your eggs to be)

Then turn off the heat, remove the pot from heat.

Pour the hot water into the sink and add cold water.

Now comes the best and the most fun part.
