Rust Tea Recipes

Teas are brewed at a Mixing Table from berries and give a timed buff - more ore, wood or scrap from gathering, extra max health, healing and more. Basic, advanced and pure versions of each tea use more berries for a stronger buff. Search or filter below.

• 4 Basic teas make 1 Advanced and 4 Advanced make 1 Pure, so a Pure tea costs 64 berries. Every tea also gives +30 water.
• Slot order matters: Scrap Tea (Yellow, White, Yellow, White) and Warming Tea (White, White, Yellow, Yellow) use the same berries.
• Teas of different types work at the same time; another tea of the same type replaces the first rather than adding to it.
• Rust's 5 November 2026 update weakened Advanced and Pure teas (Healing and Crafting Quality teas were not changed); Facepunch didn't publish the new per-tea numbers, so those rows are marked.
• Since October 2026 a Pure tea can be mixed with Milk (lasts longer) or Cream (stronger, shorter) - see Facepunch's Livestock update notes.
• Mix teas at a Mixing Table or a Cooking Workbench.
• Rad. Removal Teas (Basic, Advanced and Pure) take away 6, 8 and 10 radiation; Facepunch's wiki lists no recipe for them, so they aren't in the table.
