We actually have another guy who lives on green tea as well.

We can make rocket fuel from green tea no problem. Just add some sugar and yeast. Hack a pressure cooker to build a distillation chamber. 

Fun fact - The Nazi V2 rockets ran on homemade alcohol. More people died making the rockets than the rockets actually killed. The people making the rockets used to steal the alcohol to get drunk. It was a 70% pure alcohol mix. More people got drunk and died from alcohol poisoning than the rockets ever killed. Most of the employees got fired for stealing alcohol. This is why the V2 program ended

Fun fact 2 - the nasa engineers who sent the first people to the moon were kidnapped German  engineers

fun fact 3 - the people who developed the atom bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were kidnapped German engineers
