Favorite hot beverage while hiking

[Thoughtful Owl]

I am curious to what everyones favorite hot beverage is when they are out on the trail.

My preferance is a hot cup of Russina Tea that I have pre-mixed at home and store in a zip lock bag. And since I am diebetic, I make my Russian Tea with sugar free Tang and lemonade, instant tea, ground cloves and cinnamon. To me there is nothing more relaxing after a long day of walking weather I am cold or not, than this. If I have it, I might even a a shot of burbon or brandy too.

It would probably be hot cider for me ...

i like the little chicken or beef broth packets as a hot drink before i sleep. i might be the only person that does this though?

Water, but then I drink it at home also.

I prefer hot cider on the trail. Simple reason. Caffeine keeps me from sleeping at night, so I can't drink it in the evening. Cider offers no such offense. While it doesn't give you the morning boost, it's a good evening drink, especially in cool and cold weather.

Hot cider would have to be a close 2nd choice for me. I get that instant kind from Alpine.

You forgot the Hot Tang . . . it warms you up and gives you a bolt of sugar and vitamin C

This would fall into the other catagory.

Decaf herbal tea at night. I carry several different ones for variety, but gotta have my coffee in the AM

We're talkin about cider cider and not just apple cider here, right?
Mine too.

Ummmm . . . never mind.

All three. Coffee in the morning, decaf green tea or cocoa at night.

In really hot weather, none of the above. Chocolate-covered espresso beans give me my caffeine jolt.

Herbal tea throughout the day. Be it hot or cold I am sipping on it (I chill it in streams in the morning). Coffee in the morning. With lots of white in it!

[Jason of the Woods]

Coffee, coffee, coffee!!
