The grass disappeared into the pot, and Vivi waited a long moment to see if anything would happen before reaching for the bulb of garlic. It sort of felt like this would be the turning point... the stuff brewing in her pot couldn't possibly smell good once the garlic was tossed in. It would start to smell like flower pizza in a minute.

She sliced the bulb of garlic with a flick of her wand, pleased that Diffindo was one of those spells she'd mastered non-verbally. It ought to be, considering how often they used it over the years. Why cut it before putting it in the pot, though? Did it make a difference? Vivi lifted the garlic to her nose and sniffed gingerly before chucking both halves into her pot.

That was easy enough. Next?

SPOILER!!: Instructions
1) Once your pot of water has begun to boil, start by adding the chrysanthemum and nettle tea leaves. Stir occasionally.

2) As the colour of the water turns amber, add two generous pinches of cayenne pepper, a generous drizzle of neem oil and a splash of apple cider vinegar. Stir occasionally.

3) As the colour darkens, take a handful of fluxweed and knotgrass, then stir.

4) Take a whole garlic bulb, slice it in half (diffindo) then drop it into the solution.


5) Add 3-4 whole dried lacewing flies and a small (yes, thick) drizzle/plop of bubotuber pus.

6) Simmer, stir and leave to cool for about half an hour (in which time you clean up your work space and return any unused items to the stores cupboard.)

7) Once your Minsecticide has cooled, strain it into a spray bottle.
