Once the eggs are cool, crack the eggs with a back of spoon - please make sure you crack the eggs really well (i.e. break the membrane of the eggs. Not just the shield.)
In a separate pot (medium size pot), add the eggs with all ingredients under “tea egg seasonings”.
Bring it to boil. Turn it off. Open the lid to let it cool down.
Repeat Step 4 (boil and cool down) 5 times.
Let the eggs (with the shield) sit in the tea broth overnight before you discard the seasoning ingredients.
Enjoy with a cup of tea or as snack, breakfast, even side dish!
