- Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat and cook for five minutes.
- Drain and rinse well with cold water for five minutes, let stand in cold water for another five minutes.

- Do not remove shell, and be careful not to break membrane under it.
- Bring four cups of water to a rolling boil using same sauce pan.
- Add tea bags, soy sauce, salt, and star anise and stir mixture well while bringing it back to a boil.
- Reduce heat and carefully lower eggs into mixture with long spoon.
