How do I make Tea?
I have 144 Rose Hips, but cannot find anywhere that game lets me make tea at fire. I have 4g boiled water also.

Hmm I read on a beginner guide you just needed Rose Hips.

Doing the storeymode, found plane crash, next area had rabbits. Somehow I threw a stone and sprained my wrist and it tells me I need tea to fix it I think. You hover mouse over items in this game and not coded to show what symbol means.

For Rose Hip Tea or Reishi Mushroom Tea... you need to go to the crafting menu and "prepare" the Rose Hips or Reishi Mushrooms before you can make tea from them. Once they are prepared, they will appear on the list of foods in your cooking interface, and you will be able to combine them with potable (safe) water you have, to make the tea at a fire.

For Herbal Teas, you will find boxes of it in some places in the world (a small green box), that will have some tea bags in it. In the cooking interface, those will appear as soon as you have the Herbal Tea in inventory, no preparing needed.

You do NOT need tea cups. It is like making water, a cup magically appears for you, like plastic water bottles do. Don't think about that too much, it isn't realstic, but it works. Just accept some magic, and survive another day, lol!

Sometimes you may find cups of coffee or tea prepared and ready to drink in microwaves or other loactions in buildings, but just 1 cup at a time. You can drink it immediately after finding it, or save it to your inventory to drink later.

Hope that helps.

Awesome explanation. Thanks for the help.

I didn't realize there was another tab on top with crafting. I kept going down to the hammer/anvil icon in my inventory and thinking that was where we do it.
