Pure Scrap Tea

A short session before bed, one pure cup in the box, and a road that runs from your base toward the nearest monument. That is a fair use of the plain pure scrap tea. Its game text promises a large, temporary boost to the scrap you get from barrels, so break everything along that road, come back by another and log off with a fatter stack for tomorrow's research.

The cup is mixed at the Mixing Table from several advanced scrap teas, and at a Level 1 workbench it can still go one of two ways. Three milk give the milky version, which lasts longer and suits a runner who stays out all evening. Three cream give the creamy version, stronger and shorter, for a monument yard where barrels stand close together. A short run sits between those two, which is why plain is the right call here.

Crates and the recycler are not in its description, so drinking it before a crate run does nothing. Barrels are the whole deal, and only for whoever drank the cup.
