We boil the billy for a cuppa,.........of tea or coffee?

Get with the times Axle - when all else fails, light a fire, boil a billy, sip on a latte.......then get on the sat phone and wait for the rescue to happen :-)

Black tea ??? No ! ......tea with milk (long life is ok) bit of honey...Yes please, unlimited cups.

Coffee....one good cup per day. None of that instant stuff, if possible.

Can never drink too much tea IMHO, especially on a chilly morning, after exiting the swag to stir the embers of the overnight campfire into life.

black billy tea .. can't beat it!
(escept when it hits beer o clock of course!)

Coffee please. Standard. Usually a minimum of 10 a day, but never more than 20.

I love a billy tea with damper and golden syrup off course! Mind you, a fine cappuccino with chock sprinkle is pretty good if made with some freshly ground North Qld beans - black mountain to be precise.

Kind regards

Strong white tea for me no sugar - but it has to be billy tea with a handful of tea leaves dropped into the boiling billy and boiled for a bit and then taken off the fire to settle.

I tap the side of the billy to encourage the tea leaves to sink, although I think the real effect is to bring the punters with their pannikans.

Just prior to pouring the first cup, pour half a cup of cold water in and the rest of the tea leaves sink leaving perfect tea. It's a pretty poor old day camping if I don't have at least 3 or 4 cups to get me going!

Coffee heartstarter for breakfast, tea for the rest.
Camping is the only time I use actual tea leaves nowadays.
Beer for a Sundowner of course!

What ever someone else is making is good :)
Moroccan mint tea, mild green tea, ginger and honey tea, spicy chai. Double hot chocolate, sweetened condensed milk coffee with pack of tim tams if I'm feeling naughty.
Don't mind a teaspoon of veggie stock in cup of hot water or cuppa soup.
Always nice to end the day with a cuppa :)

Hi all,

For me billy tea.

My mate Dave is so keen for a cuppa in the morning, he boils the billy the night before, fills the flask, then empties it into the billy in the morning so he gets his cuppa faster.
I call him Desperate Dave.

If you want a cuppa to remember call into Diemals Station and have a chat and cuppa with Tony.

"Real Men" have black coffee, no sugar with an overly generous shot of Scotch or rum to wake up with.
It don't half get the heart pumping on a cold morning.

Disco.
