So what's in your thermos?

[Holly]

I am partial to a hot bovril with pepper and some chilli flakes mixed before I head out and give the flask a wee gentle shake before I pour it. I do also occasionally take the coffee sachets that have the powdered milk in them. Oh, and, diluting lemon in hot water! Its like having a lemsip without the paracetamol!

Hot chocolate is nice. Hot chocolate with a shot of whisky warms the cockles if not driving

Mint tea (in a steel flask) - for most of the year, unless it is really warm, then just water.

It used to sometimes be Pixley Berries cordial with fruit and ginger but they don't make it any more.

Tea. No sugar and dairy free. Usually Lipton Yellow Label (not that easy to buy in Scotland, only one shop in Inverness sells it). Occasionally Lady Gray. Coffee has one big disadvantage - it makes me go behind the bush too often

Soup-in-a-cup or stock cubes are good for overnight trips

Hot water.
I take teabags & milk and make my cuppas on the hill. I find that tea gets stewed if you make it first then carry it in a flask.

I carry the used teabags out.

We take the jet boil and a slection of tea, coffee, soup and fruit tea bags and brew up burn water /snow.

Same...always take a stove. Much more fun. Got the kit, so use it.

A flask of tea does me in all weather.

As the milk contaminates the flask after a few uses I clean the flask by leaving a mix of boiled water and steradent in it overnight, then remove the taste of steradent by leaving black tea in it for a few hours+

Same here, with a couple of cheap plastic mugs to brew up in. Lady G carries her milk in a hip flask, which is a waste of a hip flask if you ask me, but there you go. The system generally works well but we once did find ourselves on top of Ben Wyvis having forgotten the mugs. And the milk. And the teabags. Hot water from a flask tastes absolutely foul...
