peels of five onions
10 eggs
2 loorber leaves
3 cloves
4 allspice
1Tbsp peppercorns
1Tbsp caraway seeds
1Tbsp mustard seeds
1tsp of Szechuan pepper (optional)
1tsp lovage (optional)
1tsp nutmeg (optional)
100mL vinegar
3 cloves of garlic
Put 750mL of water and the peels of five onions in a pot and let them cook for five minutes. Remove the peels about twenty minutes later.
Put the eggs, one teaspoon of sugar, two tablespoons of salt and all spices (but vinegar and garlic) in the pot, bring it to a boil and cook them for seven minutes.
Use a spoon to remove the eggs from the pot and crack them all around. Do not remove the eggshell!
Place the eggs and the garlic in a jar, fill it with the spiced water and add the vinegar. Add water, if needed, so that the eggs are covered.
Let them rest for at least three days and at most two weeks at room temperature or slightly below.
