Forgetfullness Potion
Estimated Brewing Time:
Pewter cauldron: 60 minutes
Brass cauldron: 51 minutes
Copper cauldron: 45 minutes
Ingredients:
- Two (2) drops of Lethe river water
- Two (2) valerian sprigs
- Four (4) mistletoe berries
- Two (2) spoonsful of honey OR two standard measures of mint leaves (optional)
Instructions:
Part One
- Take your dropper to add two drops of the Lethe river water to your cauldron.
- Heat your cauldron to 394 Kelvin (that is 121°C/250°F) for 20 seconds, then turn down the flame.
- Add the two Valerian sprigs to the cauldron, then use your wand to stir your cauldron clockwise three times.
- Leave your potion to brew in your pewter cauldron at 383 Kelvin (45°C/110°F) for 30 minutes. During this step, the potion will be a deep blue and is likely to emit red sparks. (This would be 25 minutes in your brass cauldron or 22 minutes in copper.)
Part Two
- Add the four mistletoe berries to the mortar.
- Optional step: Add the two spoonfuls of honey OR two standard measures of mint leaves to the mortar as well.
- Grind with a pestle until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
- Add two measures of this mixture to the cauldron and stir with your wand counter-clockwise five times.
- Let the potion finish brewing for 20 minutes. (This would be 16 minutes in a brass cauldron or 13 minutes in a copper cauldron.)
- Take your potion off the flame entirely. The potion should now be a glimmering orange-red, and will still occasionally give off sparks. It will smell like any additive you may have used (honey or mint). If you did not use one, it may smell a little bit like burnt cinnamon.
- Stir the potion to ensure it is of uniform consistency and then transfer it to one of the glass vials. Remember to properly label the vial as we have discussed.
Usage Notes: Forgetfulness Potion’s effects will usually last six to eight hours. It is important NOT to take Forgetfulness Potion the same day as engaging in any important life decisions or changing any passwords or security measures. Those with neurological problems or any history of brain injury should not take this potion, as it can sometimes result in permanent loss of memory. Always consult with a healer before taking this potion for psychological reasons. It should not be given to children under five or those are or may become pregnant.
Storage: The Forgetfulness Potion should be left to mature at room temperature for two days. It should be stored in a dark, cool place, and can be kept up to six months before requiring safe disposal.
