Step 3: Brew Black Tea
Pour 1.5 liters of purified water into a pot and bring to a boil. Then add 20 grams of black tea leaves to the pot and simmer for about 5 minutes before turning off the heat. Let the tea steep for approximately 20 minutes to develop its rich flavor.
Step 4: Strain the Tea
Once the tea is steeped, use a strainer to remove the tea leaves (or you can place the tea leaves in a cloth bag or stainless steel strainer before boiling to avoid straining afterward).
Step 5: Cook Black Tea Egg Dessert
Transfer the strained tea into a new pot, then add the prepared rock sugar and stir until dissolved. Next, add 5 peeled eggs and simmer for about 1 hour over low heat.
After simmering for 1 hour, you will notice the eggs turning black. Then, add 30g longan, 30g winter melon, and 20g jujube. Cover and simmer for an additional 30 minutes over low heat (140°C), then turn off the heat, and your dessert is ready.

4. Some Tips for Flavorful Black Tea Egg Dessert
Chicken eggs and black tea are the primary ingredients for this dessert. Therefore, ensure you select them thoughtfully:
Chicken eggs: Opt for freshly laid local chicken eggs or industrial ones. These eggs typically have a slightly pinkish-white color and smooth shells.
Avoid eggs with overly smooth and shiny shells, which are usually ones that have been stored for quite a while before being sold.
Select quality black tea: Opt for tea with fewer old leaves, fewer stems, and less debris. The tea should have a uniform black-brown color, and emit a subtle, pleasant aroma when sniffed.
