    This is the perfect recipe! I grew up on this stuff, and this was the first time I actually tried to make them myself and it was a success! Whenever used to crave for them I'd go across town to a little tea shop who makes them daily and sells them for about a buck each. But this recipe is easy and has the PERFECT seasonings! The only thing I did different is use 2 bags of black tea instead of loose tea. When you crack the eggs, about 5 cracks does the job to make the pretty marbles. Too much and it won't be prettily marbled, too little and the flavor won't be as infused.
