 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
 12       md           Eggs, hard-boiled (shelled)
 20       oz           White vinegar
  1       ea           Bay leaf
  1       t            Mustard seeds
  3       ea           Cloves
  1       t            Peppercorns, crushed
    1/2   ea           Cinnamon stick
  1       t            Salt

 Directions:
 * Place everything, except the eggs, into a saucepan.
 * Bring gently to the boil, then remove to a basin. Cover and leave
   to cool.
 * Let the liquid stand for 4 hours before using it, to allow the
   spices and  herbs to flavour the vinegar.
 * Strain the vinegar.
 * If the spices and are left in, they discolour the eggs.
 * Put the eggs into dry, sterelised, wide-necked jars-don't pack
   them too firmly.
 * Pour the liquid over the eggs to cover them, then seal the jars.
 * Don't use for a couple of days after they are prepared. I find
   they keep perfectly for at least 6 weeks but they must be kept
   refrigerated. Cut the eggs into quarters or halves to serve or
   use slices as a garnish on biscuits or cold meat.
