Ingredients:
6 eggs
3 1/2 cups cold water, or as needed
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 cup brewed black tea
2 star anise, broken into individual pieces
1 cinnamon stick

Directions:
Remove the eggs and run them under cold running water to cool. (Reserve the water in the pan).

Tap the hard-boiled eggs gently with the back of a spoon, to make a series of cracks all over the eggshells, while making sure the shell remains intact. (If the shell does come off, don´t worry - it just means that egg will have a darker color than the others).

Bring the water in the pan back to a boil. Add the salt, soy sauce, brewed black tea, star anise pieces, and the cinnamon stick. Add the eggs. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 2 hours. Turn off the heat and let the eggs sit in the hot liquid until ready to serve. Serves 6.
