Administer directly into the eye with a dropper tool if possible.
Notes:
This potion does not heal eyesight beyond that which you normally have - there's another recently developed potion for that.
Ingredients:
1 cup murtlap essence
5g dried ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba)
5g dried eyebright (Euphrasia officinalis)
50g grated cucumber
1 moly flower
5ml moondew sap
Recipe
1. Bring the murtlap essence to a low simmer, and sprinkle in the ginkgo and eyebright. Stir twice clockwise and leave to simmer for five minutes. Meanwhile, grate the cucumber.
2. Once the potion has turned pale lavender, add the cucumber. Stir twice anti-clockwise. The potion should turn a royal purple.
3. Drop the moly flower in the centre of the cauldron. Simmer for exactly three and a half minutes before turning off the heat.
4. Once the temperature has dropped to 24°C, stir in the moondew sap with a figure of eight motion. Leave to fully cool before using, by which time the purple should have faded to lilac.
Eni looked up as the Professor was speaking, but for a moment too long and her potion started to bubble a bit too much. Turning down her burner she added the cucumber and stirred the mixture. She saw the potion turning from lavender to a royal purple just as Noble said.
Satisfied with the color Eni added the flower she'd put on the table earlier to the centre of the potion. Setting her timer again she waited and watched as her potion simmered for exactly three and a half minutes before the shrill ring of the timer went off and Eni turned off the burner, just as Noble explained.
Setting in her thermometer she waited for what felt like ages before it was at an even 24°C and she could stir in her moondew sap in a figure eight motion. She was anxious to see that pretty lilac shade she wanted to appear. That would feel right....
Perfect!
Eni smiled as she got to finish another great potion.
