What's your favourite bushcraft drink ?

[maddave]

What's your favourite bushcraft drink?. I can't abide normal "tea" but I like a nice hot coffee or Turkish "Apple tea". For a cold drink I love a nice mug of British Army "Screech". I occasionally have a pine needle tea too but I'm interested in other peoples preferred non alcoholic tipple ?

Right now it's plain rooibos, but I'm kind of partial to Lady Grey tea
I've got some Golden Nepal just now that's very good too
I like Lapsang Souchong and a friend gave me some Popoff's Caravanserai at Christmas that goes very well with the whole campfire smokey theme
Tell you what I do like round a fire before bed; hot ribena

cheers,
M

cinnoman tchae or chai from aldi really nice and you don't need to add milk

Regular tea...
Fresh Coffee.
Water is always good.
I like the idea of Turkish "Apple tea" (have you got a UK supplier Dave?)

before bed a nice hot choclate,
if using found material on the trail, then Bramble tea is nice i must say!

For me there is still no substitute for a freshly made cup of tea. When I say freshly made, I mean boiled and brewed on the spot. I've tried flasks and the like and it just doesn't compare. Don't ask me why.

When on the move, I stick with plain water.

Always keen to try new things though and may find something a little more exciting one day.

Coffee is by far my main drink, but if i was lucky enough to find a cafe at the end of a weekends walking then Tea with my full breakfast

Water - on the move
pepper mint tea - on breaks or after setting up camp
decaf coffee - morning

 

[Hugo]

Tea then more tea.
If no tea about, then strong coffee with honey and milk/cream.

 

[addo]

When camping.
Fresh coffee cowboy style in the morning
"Normal i tea" and pepermint tea through the day or water if working hard.
Hot chock in the eve

Mostly a cup of Earl Grey. The added advantage with Earl Grey is that you don't have milk with it.
Or a mug of hot chocolate.

 

[John Fenna]

Coffee, black 2 sugars as the light comes up and the sky turns from grey to day....
Beware all those who disturb this special drink of the day!

Fresh Coffee in the mornings. Tea (ideally "Sir William" loose tea from Sweden) in the afternoon. Maybe a small Laphroaig after evening meal, and fresh water anytime.
