Ingredients

• 6 large Eggs
• 4 cups Water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 1 unit Cinnamon stick
• 1 unit Star anise
• 1 teaspoon Honey (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a medium-sized saucepan and cover with water until the eggs are submerged by about 1 inch.

Step 2

Add the salt to the water and bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Once the water reaches a rolling boil, turn off the heat and cover the pot with a lid. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10-12 minutes, depending on your desired yolk firmness.

Step 4

While the eggs are cooking, prepare the spice mixture. In a separate bowl, mix the ground turmeric, paprika, ground cumin, and garlic powder. Set aside.

Step 5

Once the eggs are done, transfer them to a bowl of ice water and let them cool for 5 minutes. This will make peeling easier.

Step 6

Carefully peel the eggs and set them aside.

Step 7

In the same saucepan, combine 4 cups of fresh water, the cinnamon stick, star anise, and the prepared spice mixture. Add honey if desired for a touch of sweetness.

Step 8

Bring the spiced water to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes to allow the spices to infuse the water.

Step 9

Add the peeled eggs back into the saucepan and simmer them in the spiced liquid for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure they are evenly coated.

Step 10

Remove the eggs from the liquid and let them cool slightly before serving. These can be served warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
