Tea egg is a flavored boiled egg that adds tea during the cooking process. It is a flavor snack. Because it is simple and easy to carry, it is often cooked in small pots and sold in stations, streets and alleys, places with many tourists and pedestrians, which is high-quality and low-cost. It can be used as meals and snacks in your spare time. It is both practical and interesting.
Although many experts on the Internet have pointed out that the combination of tea and eggs is irritating to the stomach and is an inappropriate way to eat eggs. But I still didn't diminish this preference and cooked it specially for breakfast. It was simply delicious when paired with white porridge!
