How to make 🍵 Tea — step by step
The cheapest known path. Craft each step in order — every ingredient is either a basic element or something you make earlier in this list.
- Earth + Water = PlantBoth Earth and Water come straight from your starting elements — craft Plant first, everything else in this chain depends on it.
- Fire + Water = SteamSteam is a stepping stone — keep it in your inventory, later steps build directly on it.
- Plant + Steam = TeaFinal craft: combine Plant and Steam to make Tea. That's the whole path — 3 crafts total.

Why this is the cheapest path to Tea
We rank every known recipe for Tea by total crafts from the four starting elements, not just by the final combination. The two direct ingredients — Plant and Steam — cost 2 and 2 crafts to build from scratch, which is why the whole chain above needs only 3 crafts. The alternatives in the table below are ranked the same way: their "approx. cost" is the pricier ingredient plus one, so you can see at a glance which route actually saves you crafts — and which ones quietly waste five.
Alternative combinations for Tea
| Combination | Approx. cost |
|---|---|
| Dandelion + Steam | 4 crafts |
| Leaf + Water | 5 crafts |
| Tea + Water | 5 crafts |
| Chai + Earth | 6 crafts |
| Chai + Fire | 6 crafts |
Any valid combo works — pick the ingredients you already have.
What can you make with Tea?
Tea is a busy ingredient. In the community dataset it shows up in dozens of downstream recipes: pair it with Torch and you get Fire; pair it with Molotov and you get Fire; pair it with Aquafina and you get Water; pair it with Hydrogen and you get Water; pair it with Wind Turbine and you get Wind; pair it with Aeolus and you get Wind. Crafted items are never consumed, so one copy keeps working.
Tips for crafting Tea
- Craft in one sitting. The 3-craft chain for Tea takes under two minutes once you know the route — the list above is already in dependency order, so just go top to bottom.
- Reuse your inventory. If you've played before you probably own the early intermediates (like Steam) already — skip straight to the first step you can't do.
- Missing an ingredient? Check the alternatives table — e.g. Dandelion + Steam also produces Tea if that route fits your inventory better.
