I suppose just once in a while I get fed up with carting milk, tea bags sugar and just want to simply add water and relax.

When I was touring Australia a few years back I had the same problem. I decided to force myself to drink my tea black, without sugar - It was better than having it with UHT milk :yuck: Now I can't drink it any other way :D All I need to carry with me in terms of supplies is a bag of tea bags.

Cocoa, ground cinnamon, milk powder and a little coffee whitener.

The cayenne pepper sounds good Santa, I'll have a go at that.
 
I would take if I could find them the old 24hr rat packs from the late 70's early 80's all tins but man they where great, processed cheese, bacon grill, spangles, you name it all the stuff you needed eat it cold or hot, plus side to those rats where you only needed water for drinks and at same time cook your food now days you need bucket loads of water, call me old fashion but boil in bag yuck, give me tins and well, whoo hoo.
 
Ginger tea, purchased from Asian food shops. Only pure ginger & honey granules in single foil bags, all you need is hot water, lovely.

This one for instance..............http://www.asianaltd.com/product.asp?P_ID=1095

It does have a good 'kick' and does not have the weak taste that I've always found with herbal teas.

I love hot chocolate and gives you a good boost at the start of the day. I am a big coffee lover but there are just those days when you would want to relax a little bit more, which hot choco helps me with.

I also drink hot water with a squeeze of lemon to alleviate stress, though you might consider it as some form of tea already.
 
Warm Tang! or similar powdered Citrus Drink? Pre-fill some Tapioca/Malt Straws with the powder, they store well and can be re-sealed if necessary.

Beef or Chicken Bouillon is very affordable and can be packaged separately. We hardly ever use a full spice packet when making Ramen noodles, it also makes a nice brothy drink and can be
stored as aforementioned also. The straws also make decent fire lighting material in a pinch as well.
 
I take Green tea, Miso soup and Oxo cubes. I like The Oxo made with a little Cayenne Pepper added so that too is in my brew kit.
 
It's gotta be Twinnings Lady Grey or Earl Grey for me. I drink it black, it has a nice lemon-ish taste to it. Sometimes I drink hot chocolate but it is bigger and bulkier
and generally not as nice IMO. You should try the Twinnings tea selection, there's a lot of good ones in that.
