茶叶蛋

I went 裕华国货 and saw the 茶叶蛋 flavouring pack and decided to make it tonight. With the Thermo pot, I can leave it around for 1hour and took it out to rest overnight. It should be very flavour able tmr morning and will just nice for breakfast.

I left 12 初生蛋 that I got last weekend not refridged cos I wanted it not too fresh for easy peeling. 12 is not going to be enough for the family of four.

Making for it is easy, just follow the instruction on the back of the box and u wun get wrong. My house will smell of the spices to night that will make us 流口水一枕夜。
