Ingredients

4 The Coffee Shoppe Red Raspberry tea bags
6 The Coffee Shoppe Darjeeling or English Breakfast tea bags
6 The Coffee Shoppe Peppermint tea bags

Directions

1
Fill a medium saucepan with enough water to cover the eggs by about an inch and bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
2
Gently lower the eggs into the boiling water using a slotted spoon to prevent cracking.
3
Reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook for 6 minutes for soft-boiled eggs.
4
While eggs cook, prepare an ice bath by filling a bowl with cold water and ice cubes.
5
Once the timer goes off, carefully remove the eggs from the water and transfer them immediately to the ice bath.
6
Let the eggs cool in the ice bath for at least 2 minutes to stop the cooking process.
7
Tap the top and bottom of each egg gently on the counter to crack the shell, then peel under running water if desired.
8
Serve immediately with toast, salt, and pepper.
