Tea eggs are very common folk street snacks. I often come to one for breakfast. It is safe and hygienic to make by yourself. The method is very simple. Just make a few and enjoy it when you are okay. Some experts say that tea and eggs are incompatible with each other and cannot be eaten at the same time, but there is no way, they will be greedy after a while, so they can only eat less.
