Make your own all-natural egg dyes using food scraps. This allows you to skip the synthetic food coloring and use items you already have on hand! They’re most effective when eggs are soaked in color overnight in the refrigerator, especially when using brown eggs. For every dozen eggs, plan on using at least 4 cups of dye liquid.
