Marigold raised her eyebrow as the professor left. That was... Strange. What was on the note? She looked down at the book and decided to do.... The Sleeping Draft. It seemed like the right amount of complexity for her.

Text Cut: Potion instructions
Basic Sleeping Draft

Use/Effect:
The basic sleeping draft is to be used before bedtime in order to aid in sleeping. However, it should not be used longer than a week or two or one may start falling asleep at odd times of the day.

Ingredients:
water (500mL)
lavender (a pinch; crushed)
chamomile (a handful; crushed)
for nightmares: purslane (a pinch)
for more powerful brew: ginger (a pinch)

Instructions:
Bring water to a slow boil.
Add lavender and stir 21 times, counter-clockwise.
Add chamomile and let simmer for 20 minutes (potion should be pale, clear, purple with a tint of green, though the green may not always be observable)
For nightmares: add a pinch of purslane and stir 5 times, counter-clockwise
For a more powerful brew: add a pinch of ginger and stir 5 times, counter-clockwise

Notes:
Potion can be stored for up to a month, though it is advisable to brew a fresh batch weekly.
