"I'm thinking we should add the Fluxweed leaves, stir twice, add the mint, stir once, and then add the oil of the Fluxweed," she suggested. It sounded feasible after all and then they could possible see how it was looking before the blood products could be added.

"You know we should probably went turn the heat down as well before we add the blood and lemonade," she added as she reached for the leaves and held them over the cauldron, ready to drop them.

“I like it,” Patroclus grinned at Mina’s quick thinking, “Let’s hop to it!”

Patroclus stirred as Mina added the ingredients, first the fluxweed leaves, then the mint, and finally the oil.
With all but the blood products and the lemonade left to go, Patroclus agreed as he stared at the flame, it was much to hot, so with his free hand he reduced the heat, so too allow the potion to cool.
“OK, now for the blood products, Why do I stir the potion quickly, no more then 7 times, while you add firstly the Bloodroot Juice, then it’s membrane and Re’em blood? We will have to move quickly as we don’t want to over stir the potion, but it still has to be moving fast as we add them!”

Patroclus placed the stirrer back into the potion, and cried “Go!” He began to whip the potion till it was a swirling twirling golden whirlpool!
