I love speckled blue robin eggs! 😀 In this tutorial I’ll show you how to make cute speckled Easter eggs – all naturally dyed with red cabbage and coffee! Naturally dyed speckled eggs aren’t difficult to make and they’ll look super cute on your Easter breakfast table.
Naturally Dyed Speckled Easter Eggs
It’ll get messy so protect your clothes and surrounding surfaces.
Boil down some leftover coffee till it’s thick and syrupy. Dip a toothbrush or brush into the thickened coffee, run your finger along the bristles of the toothbrush and splatter the coffee onto the naturally dyed Easter eggs. Let the speckled eggs dry thoroughly.
Here you’ll find my recipe for naturally colored speckled blue robin egg truffles.
They are just so pretty, lovely colours.
So do you dye them as they boil and then eat then as boiled eggs or are these just for decoration now you’ve made them so pretty?
Yes, we ate them as boiled eggs, even if they’re so pretty! 😉
The coffee splatters is such a fun touch! Thanks for sharing with SYC.

Thank you!
It still fascinates me that red cabbage turns things blue. I can’t wrap my head around that one, but I do love your coffee speckled eggs Lina. They looks so natural
Yes, red cabbage is fascinating: It turns red/ pink with acid, and blue/ green with base.
This is a brilliant idea. They look so realistic and natural too!
Thank you!
Hello Lina – just popping in from the #HomeMattersParty for a visit . . . your speckled eggs are so beautiful! They are natural looking rather than all of the pretty pastel colors that we are used to this time of year – I love the gentle, soft colors of your eggs so much better! Thanks for sharing, I hope to catch up with you again this week at the link-up party. Nina @ Vintage Mama’s Cottage
