Potions 202. Cough Potion

 Hoy empezamos las clases practicas de pociones y la primera poción que vamos a preparar es un remedio contra la tos siguiendo con las pociones curativas que empezamos el año pasado

 

Para ello vamos a enseñar a los niños y niñas de 2º curso como hacer un jarabe natural y casero. En clase solo usaremos algunos ingredientes, mientras que en casa pueden usar más alimentos para la preparación de estos jarabes... Aquí os dejo unos vídeos sencillos

For today’s lab, we will revisit a potion that was previously mentioned in some detail, but whose recipe was not provided. Let´s open your book on on page 12.

Yes... We are going to continue with Healing Potions . In this light this year we will begin with a remedy for cough. A cough potion is a healing potion which alleviates the symptoms of an irritated throat by soothing and reducing coughing.

Ingredients:                                                           Mundane Ingredients
1 150ml of water                                                      water
1 mandrake root                                                       onion
1 whole ginger roots                                                lemons
30ml of red wine vinegar                                         sweet vinegar
30ml of bouncing spider juice                                 lemon juice
3 fairy wings                                                            canela
2 tablespoons powdered Bicorn horn                       tomillo o laurel
30ml of Infusion of Wormwood                               jenjibre

Instructions:

Part One:
Bring 150 mL of water
Cut one mandrake root into 0.5 cm (about 0.2 inch) slices.
Add one half of the mandrake root to the cauldron. Keep the other half of the sliced root somewhere in which there is moderate to dry temperature in order to ensure it stays fresh to be added to future brewing.
Add the whole sliced root to the caudron.
Stir the potion twice clockwise.

At this point, the potion will be a pale orange and emit bright pink steam and possibly sparks.

Part Two:
Add 2 mL of red wine vinegar and 2 mL of bouncing spider juice to the cauldron.
Add three fairy wings to your mortar and crush them into a fine, even powder. Add the full powdered substance to the cauldron.
Stir once counterclockwise while the cauldron is still removed from the flame.
Add 3 mL of Infusion of Wormwood and 250 mL of water to the cauldron.
Stir twice counterclockwise with your wand.

At the end of the brewing process, the potion will be bright orange and emit yellow steam. Even after the potion cools, this yellow steam will continue to rise out of the potion.
