Put the eggs in a pan and cover with water. Bring to the boil then simmer for around 10 minutes.
Take off the heat, drain and plunge the eggs into cold water.
Once cooled, carefully peel them (It helps if you use older eggs rather than fresh ones).
Put the eggs in a large kilner jar, add the spices, bay leaves and chilli, then cover with malt vinegar.
Seal the jar and store for about a week before eating – if you can wait that long. It’s as simple as that.
