1

Place all ingredients except eggs in a small pot. Stir to combine and bring to a boil. Once marinade boils, lower heat, and simmer for a minute. Turn off heat and let marinade cool completely.
2

Fill pot with enough water to cover the eggs with at least 1”. Bring to a boil, then gently lower cold refrigerated eggs one at a time into the boiling water.
3

Lower heat to medium low to maintain a gentle boil / simmer. Boil for ~7-8 mins. To keep yolks centered in the eggs, gently move eggs around for the first few minutes.
4

After ~7-8 mins, immediately remove eggs and place in ice water for ~15-20 mins.
5

Peel eggs and place them in a food storage bag. Add the cooled marinade to the same bag. Remove excess air from bag and seal, ensuring eggs are completely covered by the marinade. Refrigerate overnight.

The following day, remove eggs from bag, slice each egg in half using a piece of thread (optional). Serve.
