Thread: New huts

Time for a brew....


At the end of the day after hut building or like any other NZ bush dweller at any time.... time for a brew.

For those that remember... no smoky brews



In those days most NZFS huts had a brew billy.... let alone now?

To make a cup of tea in those days you had to bring the brew billy to a rolling boil over the fire, tip in a handful of correct amount of leaf tea, then lift the billy off the fire with a stick, give it a couple of bangs on the side of the billy to get rid of the floaters, then pour into an enamel mug/s adding condensed milk and enjoy
