 Bagels & Fruit Syrup
(Recipe by: "Backpacker's Cookbook" by Margaret Cross and Jean Fiske)
Serving Size: 1 (I personally think 2) 1/4 cup dried apples 1 cup brown sugar 1/4 tsp cinnamon 2 Tbsp margarine 1 cup water 1. Simmer the apples in water until they are rehydrated. 2. Add remaining ingredients ans simmer until sugar is melted and thickened. Brian and I like to break up a begal in our eating bowl and cover with the syrup. Ummm! Follow up with a little hot water drink to clean up the syrup and it's backpacker friendly.

Now the Sherpa Tea. The Sherpa of Mt.Everest drink a hot milk tea creation that I suspect this simulates. Make it as a mix. I like it for the variety it adds to the usual hot cocoa and coffee selection of the hot drink menu.
