Simmer and stir? Vivi reduced the heat on her pot and gave it a last vigorous stir and watched the petals and grass and a lump of what was probably garlic rise to the surface and spin briefly before disappearing back into the depths again.

Well, this wasn't the time to stare into the pot like it had all the truths of the universe floating inside. She now had half an hour to clean up her station and pull faces at her neighbors. And maybe pocket some of those lacewing flies for her own private potions stores.

After wiping down any splashes and spills from the workbench, Vivi perused the ingredients she had left to see if any could be returned from whence they came. Definitely the rest of the pus and the unused liquids. She'd used nearly all of the flies and grasses, and had only ever had a set amount of some of the other supplies. Those she could returned were swiftly put away, and then Vivi came back to check on her cooling mess of non-potion.

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.
