Let the eggs come to room temperature. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.

Once the water is boiling, turn off the heat and gently lower the eggs into the pot using a ladle. After all the eggs are in, bring the water back to a boil.

For soft-boiled eggs, cook for 5 1/2 to 6 minutes. For hard-boiled eggs, cook for about 9 minutes. Transfer the eggs to an ice bath, then peel them.

In a zip-top bag (or a container, but a bag helps the eggs soak better), combine all the marinade ingredients marked with ● and mix well.

Add the peeled eggs to the marinade. Remove as much air as possible from the bag and seal it so the eggs are evenly coated.

Let the eggs marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days for flavor to soak in. For a richer flavor all the way to the yolk, marinate for 2 to 3 days.
