Calming Draught

Use/Effect:
To calm and soothe the drinker

Ingredients:
  • 1 pint water
  • 6 drops fluxweed oil
  • Inner membrane and fluid from 3 bloodroot stems
  • 1 Valerian root, minced
  • 1 drachm calendula pollen
  • 3 skullcap leaves
  • 1/2 drachm powdered root of asphodel (scant)
  • 1 Hyacinth flower, whole
  • 1 ounce slime from the belly of a sprightly frog
  • 1 sprig of peppermint
  • 4 drop glumbumble fluid (take care not to overuse!)

Instructions:

**STAGE 1**
  • Add 6 drops fluxweed oil to warm water.
  • Split the bloodroot stems lengthwise with your knives and scrape out all fluid and fibrous material from inside the stems. Crush with mortar and pestle into a fine paste and add to the cauldron.

**STAGE 2**
  • Mince the Valerian root and add it to the potion.
  • Add calendula pollen, stirring three times clockwise.
  • Shred the skullcap lengthwise, and slowly add it to the potion
  • Bring the temperature back up until the steam is rising again, stirring clockwise slowly. It should be a light blue-green at this stage.
  • Professor's note: Remember your intent-- concentrate on being calm and infusing your work with a calm, deliberate result.
  • Add asphodel -- you should see a bright blue flash of light in your cauldron
  • Add the Hyacinth flower; the potion should stop glowing
  • Allow the potion to steep while you collect the frog slime. For best results, do not harvest the frog slime until this time!
  • Add the slime and a sprig of peppermint and bring to boiling, stirring in alternating clockwise and counterclockwise stirs once again.
  • When the potion thickens and turns deep indigo, add the glumbumble fluid.
  • Continue stirring in a clockwise motion until the solid ingredients have all disintegrated and the potion is a thick, syrupy indigo fluid that smells of lavender, warm sugar and sweet mint. There should be a light purple-pink sheen in the steam that rises from the potion.
  • Take a sample of your potion and bottle it into a phial.
