In a pinch, you can also use the herbal tea as a source of calories!

Each cup is absolutely packed with 100 scrumptious calories, meaning that a full box of 12 teabags will provide a full 1200 calories, the same as two packets of Salty crackers or tins of Pork and beans!

It should be noted, of course, that said 12 bags of tea will require 3 L of water to brew over the course of 2 hours, 24 minutes (3 hours if using a Recycled can), assuming you have access to 2 cooking slots (a 6-slot stove brings it down to only 26-30 minutes).

BUT, the 12 cups of tea will weigh a mere 1.2 kg, giving them a calorie density of 1000 cal/kg! This is superior to all the animal meats, sodas, Pinnacle peaches (which also has 300 less calories); and to top it all off, it never decays, a trait shared only with cat tail stalks and Salty crackers!
