Dragon gloves (please ensure to put these on prior to starting)
Phial

Ingredients
500ml water
200ml sunflower oil
100gr / 3.5oz dried nettles
6 snake fangs
4 horned slugs
2 porcupine quills
3 tbsp flobberworm mucus

Estimated Brewing Time: 1 hour 15 minutes

Instructions
Step 1 - add all six snake fangs to the mortar and crush them into a fine powder using the pestle.
Step 2 - add 500ml of water to your cauldron and bring to the boil.
Step 3 - add four teaspoons of crushed snake fangs to the cauldron.
Step 4 - heat the mixture to 250 degrees Fahrenheit or 121 degrees Celsius for 10 seconds.
Step 5 - bring the heat down to 212 degrees Fahrenheit or 100 degrees Celsius.
Step 6 - stir twice clockwise.
Step 7 - tap the cauldron with your wand three times so the potion turns pink.
Step 8 - leave the cauldron to brew for 45 minutes.
Step 9 - add all four horned slugs to the cauldron.
Step 10 - take cauldron off the heat after three minutes.
Step 11 - add the two porcupine quills and nettles to the potion.
Step 12 - put the cauldron back on the heat.
Step 13 - lower the heat to 45 degrees Celsius or 110 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 14 - slowly introduce 200ml sunflower oil to the cauldron.
Step 15 - stir five times clockwise.
Step 16 - leave the cauldron to brew for 17 minutes.
Step 17 - take the cauldron off the heat and add the three tablespoons of flobberworm mucus.
Step 18 - leave to cool down and thicken for 5 minutes.
Step 19 - stir the potion until the desired texture is achieved.
Step 20 - bottle the potion.

If the potion is made successfully, there will be pink smoke rising from the cauldron and have the consistency of a lotion. Your potion should look sky blue and smell like wet grass when brewed correctly. This potion should cure the consumer of boils between ten to twenty minutes.

Additional advice
Cure for Boils has been known to cause boils rather than cure them if made incorrectly. If this potion is not taken off the heat prior to adding porcupine quills, it will cause the cauldron to melt and produce a horrid odour. Switching around the order of ingredients will render the potion ineffective and toxic, resulting in a blue hue when applied to the skin. Lavender or other plants, may be added for fragrance at the same time the flobberworm mucus is added, but should be left to infuse for an hour instead of five minutes. Stirring counter-clockwise will cause the potion to spit at the creator, which can be very dangerous, possibly blinding, if the substance comes into contact with the eyes, so be aware of this especially. If the oil is not introduced slowly into the cauldron, it will not bond with the water, resulting in an undesirable texture and thickness.
