yesterday i went for a long ride and didn't have any noun tablets or similar. i remembered from reading some old racers account that they used to have tea in their bidons - so i filled one bidon with tea (boiled water + tea bag + sugar - brew and add cold water to chill - nb no milk) and the other bidon with water and i have to say it was a bloody nice and good (i didn't dehydrate) combination.
no idea from a scientific point of view how it compares with modern refueling powders etc but i think i will continue with it.
