Right...now to get down to brewing.
Gideon looked over the list of ingrediants once more and did his best in remembering how best to brew it all together. There was a rhyme and a reason to everything and it was just a matter of doing it right. First the ailhosty leaves, five to be exact, crushed before being added. "Scourgify," Gideon cast on his mortar and pestle, setting the leaves within when he was sure they were both clean. He then proceeded to lightly crush the leaves until they were more of a paste. When at the right consistance, Gideon added them to the warming cauldron, careful of using every last bit that had been in the mortar.
Then there was the lovage leaves simply added once the temperature of the water was just about right. The sixth year had been careful of the point it would reach, a nice rolling boil and then the light dropping of the leaves. The potion in response turning the proper yellow color. So far so go it seemed at least.
Then with dropper in one hand and stiring rod in the other, Gideon squeezed the dropped in the re'em blood to fill it up halfway, just enough to get the drops out. Then one drop...counterclockwise stir...one drop...counterclockwise stir and on and one until 5 drops were in and he had completed his last counterclockwise turn of the stirring rod.
