Very neat … we actually have a survival drink we made with the things we got from Europeans. Old time hunters and trappers travelling in the wilderness would make a drink called ‘Tea Ploss’ … a mixture of making really strong, hot, boiling tea (usually over a camp fire) and then quickly mixing in flour, sugar and lard (all raw food items you got from the Hudson Bay Company).
It’s absolutely disgusting and I’ve tried it many times. My parents loved it but I think it was more nostalgic than anything. About the only time I ever enjoyed it was being out in the wilderness in the winter time, freezing cold, tired, hungry, worn out and sipping on this drink.
This reminds me a little of butter tea, which is drank in Tibet and Central Asia.
