Hot tea or cold tea? 193.202.105.10 ( talk) 15:53, 10 November 2014 (UTC) reply

Not specified but given the season and that the British seldom drink cold tea (unless they'd forgotten half a cup), I'd have gone for 'hot'. GraemeLeggett ( talk) 16:49, 10 November 2014 (UTC) reply

In the novel "Im Westen nichts Neues" by E. M. Remarque appears "Tee mit rum" carried in canteen once. Possibly common military custom. -- Ypacaraí ( talk) 09:25, 21 May 2019 (UTC) reply

Probably the Germans copying the custom of the army that beat them in two world wars! :) The C of E God Save the Queen! ( talk) 10:12, 21 May 2019 (UTC) reply
