Original commissary-inspired pantry recipe

A little fruit punch gives tea a sweet-tart note without using a full-strength sugary drink as the whole base. Mixing the punch separately makes it easier to keep the proportions consistent.

Place & evidence: Across the country. This is an original pantry recipe. The source supplies ingredient or technique context, rather than evidence that this exact dish is served in a prison. Inventory and place labels describe that context only. FCI / SCP La Tuna Commissary Sheet.

Make it

Equipment: Heat-safe bowl or mug; clean spoon; measuring cup and spoons; safe hot-water source. Use the cooking equipment required by the product label.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Steep tea in hot water according to the tea label.
  2. Remove the tea bag and let steam escape.
  3. Stir in the prepared fruit punch.
  4. Add ice if available or drink warm once comfortable.

The useful detail

Use the prepared drink, not a quarter cup of powder.

When the store is different

Use prepared orange drink or lemonade.

Serving & handling

Prepare starches fresh and follow package cooking directions. Serve promptly; hydrated grains and mixed meals require proper handling. Read the pantry and food-handling guide for storage limits, package directions and allergen checks.
