STANDARD CLASS XX POTION BASE
STEP ONE:
Purified water, 4 ounces
Fluxweed, two bunches- finely crushed
Lovage pollen - 2 drams
3 lovage seeds, whole
Bloodroot, 3 roots- split lengthwise, scrape inner membrane out
Apple cider, 8 ounces
Lionfish heart, minced
Griffin dandruff, 1 dram
Warm water until just before boiling.
Crush fluxweed with mortar and pestle, add to water. Allow to come to a brisk boil.
Add lovage pollen, stir until dissolved.
Potion should take on a light golden colour.
Stir slowly, alternating clockwise and counterclockwise stirs
Bring potion back up to a boil and allow to simmer 5 minutes
Add inner membrane ONLY of bloodroots; do NOT include the tough outer membrane of the root!!!
Add apple cider and lionfish heart; potion should take on an iridescent sheen and a light pink to purple cast
Add griffin dandruff and simmer until your potion takes on a deep pink to red sheen.
Destiny shrugged at Evelyn and company.
'What? Bubbles are fun.' Party poopers. Cue cheesy smile.
Ahh good. Destiny's potion had boiled and simmered. Next part was to add the bloodroot.
'How do I get the membranie thingy out?' She adjusted her glasses and read the board.
'Riiiight.'
Carefully cutting the bloodroot lengthwise, she scraped the inner membranie thing-a-ma-bob into her now simmering potion.
'Apple cider. Always reminds me of pie.' Too busy day-dreaming about pie, Destiny spilled the apple cider she was holding all over her lap.
'Crud.' She measured another 8ounces of apple cider and poured it into her cauldron before she had time to daydream again.
Its a good thing there is no lionfish heart pie, or else the minced heart would be on Destiny's lap too.
'Grossss!' she said as she plopped the heart into the cauldron and watched as the potion turned an ugly pink color.
'Grossss.'
