Hey! HEYYYYYY!!! It’s Potions Week and we don’t need no steenking Severus Snape!

The Doclopedia #114

Let’s start off with an easy potion that anyone can make in the safety of their enchanted tower laboratory.

Potions: The Elixir Of Shrinking

Ingredients

1 cup mouse toenail clippings
1 teaspoon black rose petals
1 teaspoon fig syrup cooked under a quarter moon
2 gallons water
1 ½ cups white wine
3 drops of pixie sweat

Combine water and wine in a 5 gallon cast iron cauldron that has been washed in ice water three times. Place on a fire made of olive wood logs. Bring to a rolling boil.

Using a clean spoon carved from the thigh bone of a yak, stir in the toenail clippings, rose petals and fig syrup. Always stir counter clockwise for precisely 27 stirs.

Reduce to a simmer.

Remove your clothing and dance the Dwarven Three Step for 5 minutes.

Add the pixie sweat and stir rapidly in a clockwise direction for 33 stirs.

Allow potion to cool to air temperature overnight, then spend the next day reducing it to 1/10 volume.

Cool and store in a stoneware bottle.

Makes 6 doses.
