Drinks
Mary's Spiced Tang This stuff tastes great hot: 2 c. Tang 1/4 c. instant tea with lemon and sugar 1 t. cinnamon 1/2 t. cloves 1/2 t. ginger Use 2 heaping teaspoons per cup Mary
Nigal's Cornholio Cocktail Combine in a 1 qt. water bottle: 2 packs of Carnation's Instant Breakfast Drink 5 tablespoons of sugar 3 tablespoons of Ironman Whey Protein 1/3 cup (aprox.) powdered milk This is a good one I like during the hot months when I don't eat much. This has a good balance of carbs and protein so it sticks with you on the trail. Drink this with a MegaMan vitamin and a Cliff Bar and you will be running down the trail with your t-shirt stretched over your head yelling, "I AM CORNHOLIO!" in no time flat! It's good hot too. Here is the rough nutritional information for this drink: Calories: 510 Cholesterol: 40mg. Sodium: 475mg. Carbs: 81gr. Protein: 39gr. Potassium: 500mg. This does not count the five tablespoons of sugar either. Nigal's Own Ray's Hot Cuppa Sweet Milk Combine in a ziplock: 1 cup dry milk 1/2 cup sugar 1 pinch cinnamon 1 pinch nutmeg 1 pinch cloves Mix this all up and spoon it out as needed for one of the best hot drinks I can imagine on a cold winter night. Good cold too. [From The Pacific Crest Trail Hiker's Handbook by Ray Jardine]
Lightweight is all relevant. Is a pint of Guinness lightweight? Yes I say! It is lighter than bottled Guinness! It's worth every sweet ounce too. Only drink beer in moderation please. 8)
