4. Pour the Pickling Liquid: Pour the cooled pickling liquid over the hard-boiled eggs, ensuring they are completely submerged.
5. Marinate: Seal the jar or container and refrigerate for at least 24 hours, allowing the eggs to marinate and absorb the flavors.
6. Serve: Once pickled, the eggs are ready to be enjoyed. Serve them as a tangy and flavorful snack or as a unique addition to salads and appetizer platters.
