How to dye eggs blue:

Take boiled eggs with white shells. You also need a head of red cabbage, 4.5 cups of water, and a tablespoon of vinegar (9%).

Chop the cabbage and throw it into boiling water. Let it cook for half an hour, covered. Strain the broth and add the vinegar. Place the eggs in a deep dish so that they do not touch each other. Pour over the cabbage broth. The less the eggs are in the broth, the more delicate the color will be. Leave a few eggs in the broth for longer, and you'll even get purple-blue Easter eggs.

Remove the eggs from the broth and place them on paper towels to dry.
