Today we will work with a cooling draught. As always, the instructions are on the blackboard. I felt that last potion was a bit callenging for you, so today's is without fire. I certainly hope that you can make this simple potion go right. I was very disappointed with last classes results.


Potions Black Board
Cooling Potions
2 Gnome teeth, chopped
1 beetle eye
Fire mint
Power stone
Water
2 bird’s eyes
Instructions: Measure out 1 cup of cold water. Put it in your cauldron. Drop in a bird’s eye. Squish the beetle eye and add that too. Stir. Next add a small scoop of fire mint. Crush the second bird’s eye and add. Then add the gnome teeth and add 2 more teaspoons of water. Stir five times and let sit for 5 minutes. While the potion is soaking, choose four powerstones, two of them about an inch across and the other two about a quarter of an inch round. When the potion is finished soaking, drop the powerstones in and stir twenty times in opposite directions slowly. When the potion has stopped swirling, plunge in your hands and retrieve the stones. The smaller ones should be set behind your ears, right beneath the lobe, while the larger ones are meant to be set on your wrists. You should be colder soon. If the effects wear off, soak them once more.


Alright class. Your time is up. Bottle some of your potion for grading and bring that bottle up to me. Put in it one of the stones. Your homework is below.


Homework Research and write a report on what powerstones would be best for this potion.
