Just kidding.
I remember getting the Aussie ration packs with the small bit of food and a ton of tea and sugar packets with a tube of sweetened condensed milk. What the heck was that all about?
We would watch the Aussies stop patrolling to brew up every afternoon, no matter what was going on and presumed that you were of a similar mind.

That's for making white tea. Some years ago I gave bench space here in the shop to the Australian axeman Jim Alexander, who'd won about thirty world titles chopping in professional timber sports. Big Jim had hands fully half again bigger than mine and was in that handful of the best axemen that ever competed. Every afternoon when it got hot, it was time for white tea. There wasn't any arguing about it either, it was white tea.
