Teas, soups and other warm buffing foods

Right now full gear gives this in regular biomes :

Seems a little low counting on body heat but justified by needing fire and building, otherwise would make them useless

But what if hot foods like stew or turkey broth would give a heat bonus if too cold but not overheat if too hot, there could be other new foods like soups or herbal teas to warm up

Basically consuming hot foods like soups, broth, teas would bring closer to ideal temp if too cold and avoid the extreme cold temperature for a certain amount of time.

I like the idea, but the fact is that eating hot foods raises your core temperature by a slight amount, even if you're already hot. But it should have more effect on those who are cold than those who are warm... say, twice the effect if moving towards ideal temperature? We could also have cooling foods that worked the same way...

For example: Mango Sorbet - use bowl on a plate of mango slices to get a mango slice in bowl. Mash with sharp stone (like berries and carrots) to make mango pulp. Add a snowball to make mango sorbet. Gives 4 (2+2) food, has three servings - but it makes your temperature go down by some amount for, say, 30 seconds. A good food to give to people suffering from yellow fever or heatstroke, or a small food for people living in hotter climates to help manage their heat.

Lasts for 1 minute before melting into mango juice - same stats as above for food value and uses, but no cooling effect (or a lesser one - cool drinks could be a generic cooling food). Can be refrozen by pouring it into a cold bowl.

We could do similar with bananas and berries. You could even make squash or cactus fruit sorbet if you want. Any fruit will do.

this would work with my idea of basic foods which dont require a lot of resources

as we dont have any job to give when no tools and no soil available, and we do any job faster than out kids, its really no use of people who dont know already how to do scavenging or composting

if we would have something similar to leaf or tinder in swamp trees, we could make a tea from it which just gives a bit of food and temp buff, wouldnt be a waste, like cooking 3 eggs with a hot rock or planting more berries with soil intended for wheat/carrot planting

yeah it takes some water, but that is kinda easily fixed if you can upgrade one well
