Daisy used a quick cleaning charm to clean her spoon. She peered into her cauldron and saw that the pumpkin had reached a nice simmer. She carefully added her moth powder and with her spoon, stirred the potion four times in a clockwise direction. Within moments it had turned into a nice shade of green that looked like the colour of grass.
Daisy then added her 100g of her bouncing bulb and stirred just a bit so that it was incorporated into the mixture. She turned the heat down and set her timer for thirty minutes.
Daisy cleaned her mortar and pestle, scales and spoon. She wrote down her notes before bringing her pumpkin towards her.

Pompion Potion
Ingredients:
2 cups pumpkin innards, densely packed (sorted so no seeds)
3 flitterby moths
100g fresh bouncing bulb, stunned if necessary
4g fresh foxglove (Digitalis purpurea) flowers, petals only
10 fresh pumpkin seeds
Instructions:
1.Use Diffindo to cut open the pumpkin.
2. Using a metal spoon, scoop out the innards, pulling out the seeds and putting to one side.
3. Put two densely packed cups of pumpkin innards in the bottom your cauldron with a cup of water. Set over medium heat.
4. Place three dried Flitterby moths in a mortar and with a pestle grind into a very fine powder. Do not add to cauldron
5. Peel the outer layer of a stunned bouncing bulb via a peeler then chop 100g worth of bulb (use scales to measure) using a silver knife. Proper knife technique is key. Do not add to cauldron.
6. When the pumpkin has reached a simmer, add the moth powder. Stir potion four times in a clockwise direction until the colour of the potion resembles green grass.
7. Add 100g of your chopped bouncing bulb and stir enough to incorporate.
8. Turn down heat and set the timer for thirty minutes so the potion can simmer. Meanwhile, you can carve the pumpkin
Daisy was thinking of a design. Did it have to be the usual "face"?
