Tea eggs!

I made some tea eggs last night, I improvised the recipe from online.

12 eggs
4 tblspoons sweet soy sause
4 tblspoons brown suger
2 star anise pods
1 cinemon stick
5 cloves
a pinch of black peper corns

Boiled eggs for 15min, rinsed in cool water, lightly cracked with spoon, then returned to boiling water, added other ingreadiants, put on lowest heat for 2 hours. took off heat, left to steep overnight.

They are somewhat tasty. Deffinitely more tasty than normal boiled eggs.

The idea was to use them as a healthy, protien rich, alternative snack for at work instead of eating the mars bars all the time.

Think they work ok, because i had one for breakfast, and ate about 1/4 packet of cheezles afterwards. whereas normally i would eat a full packet and still be trying to find some more to eat.

Ill put a picture up later.
