  • Escape with me to Hogwarts where I'll be your new Potion's Master, today we're brewing up Amortentia, Felix Felicis, and Pepperup Potion. Don't be late, or there will be house demerits!
    Today I'm brewing up draughts of three very well known potions from the Wizarding World and I hope you're taking notes on this because there will be a quiz at the end of class. Sorry, couldn't help myself. The world of Harry Potter contains so many evocative potions that it would be easy to wind up with a 90 minute episode here, so instead let's focus on three well known potions and we'll meet for another class down the road, ok? Amortentia, Felix Felicis and Pepperup Potion are all mentioned at pivotal moments in the series and occupy a fair amount of both screen time and page space, so they seemed to be fantastic places to start. In all of these cases I had to make difficult decisions about whether to take from the book description of the films depictions, as there are differences between them. I tried to strike a balance, though it seems a may have leaned a bit more towards the book than the films. Amortentia is described as smelling like whatever the imbiber is attracted too, giving it an ever changing quality. Felix Felicis is described as looking like molten gold. For the pepperup potion we get clearer descriptions of it's effects than it's appearance, so I'm going from there.

      @@Rose-jz6sx You're totally right, it isn't a seasonal series per se other than the division of the school year from the summers, but in the movies specifically there is a lot of focus around Halloween early on because it is about magic etc. and that's how a lot of people identify with that sort of stuff. Even more than that though HP has always felt like a Christmas series. Harry always struggles with not having his own family particularly around the holidays, but is taken care of by the Weasleys, his friends, and of course his school. And all the feasting throughout the books definitely reminds me of the holiday months :D

    This reminds me of the potion store owner that has "potion of perceived strength" and "elixer of bravery" and they all have the side effects of decreased dexterity, increased volume and morning headache. And the customer says "are these all booze?" and the owner replies "nope. some are mixers"

    • @HonestMagpie
      @HonestMagpie 7 місяців тому

      Fun fact: In D&D 5e the spell False Life requires "A small amount of alcohol or distilled spirits" as a material component, as well as having verbal and comatic components. This spell just gains you 1d4+4 temporary hit points, which doesn't heal your old ones. Basically it just makes you FEEL like you have more health for a little bit.
      So you're basically just doing a shot and yelling "COME AT ME BRO." That's it, that's the spell.

    • @englishatheart

      Nah. I used to be big into tequila before I gave myself alcohol poisoning chugging it, but even when I still liked it, it never made me attracted to someone I wasn't into sober. Alcohol doesn't do that, it just makes you more willing to get with someone you're too chicken to admit to being into when sober.

    With the right teacher, I probably would have loved to learn potions! Guess I'll start with the cocktails.
    Oh, and I assumed that Slughorn's Felix Felicis was something he had stored in for himself, as he was on the run from Deatheaters before being hired, and was afraid for his life. But, he knew he couldn't just keep drinking the stuff, so he kept it in case of emergency, and was ready to drink it at a moment's notice.

    One of my favorite non-alcoholic drinks is a London Fog, consisting of Earl Gray tea steeped in a 50/50 blend of water and half-an-half that has been steamed, vanilla , and honey. I've been trying to make an alcohol based version of this drink for a while which is where I discovered Italicus, but I haven't been able to get it right. Would you happen to have any suggestions? (I must admit, I've only ever had bad experiences with gin, so I never thought to have that as my liquor base.)

    For liquid luck, using a heavy dark honey as the main body might have better lent to the molten gold desired effect, sweetening the entire drink while making it smooth, tangy, and pouring with a molten metal quality and luster

  • @TheDeadmandillon

    As for a viewer's alternative approach to the pepperup potion...
    One cup of water (boiling)
    One bag of black tea or Earl Gray
    Juice of one whole lemon
    Couple dashes of ground ginger powder (or fresh ginger root if preferred)
    One to two whole shots of bourbon or spirit(s) available.(depending on the mug or potency preference)
    Honey to taste
    One lemon wheel to garnish... and enjoy with your favorite Harry Potter book or movie, or even party if you're that into the lifestyle.

    For potion inspiration you could also look at the board game Potion Explosion which seems to borrow theme Heavily from Harry Potter. The descriptions of the potion ingredients though are hilarious

    Viniq does have luster. There are (were?) several flavors/colors available.

      Viniq needs carbonated water or sparkling wine to keep it agitated also.
      Or, a fairly heavy dose of syrup to keep it suspended longer.

      You could literally just pour some italicus liqueur into a cup of hot chai tea. Most kinds of chai tea have black pepper in them. Which would be consistent with the books because Britain had the British Empire and the big influences from India

    Ooh I really want to try the Felix Felicis. I love rosemary in cocktails, I made a recipe for a cocktail competition called the Ruby Rose with fresh ruby red grapefruit and a honey rosemary syrup. :)

    • @princessaria
      @princessaria 4 роки тому +2

      Recipe if anyone is curious. :)
      Honey Simple Syrup
      1/3 c honey
      1/3 c water
      1/8 tsp cinnamon
      3 inch long sprig rosemary
      Simmer together until reduced. Store syrup in glass jar.
      For drink:
      2 oz fresh red grapefruit juice
      2 oz vodka
      1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
      1/4 oz honey simple syrup
      1 1/4 inch sprig fresh rosemary garnish
      Shaken with ice and strained into martini glass.
