So, what is edible glitter made out of? According to the FDA: "Common ingredients in edible glitter or dust include sugar, acacia (gum arabic), maltodextrin, cornstarch, and color additives specifically approved for food use, including mica-based pearlescent pigments." I think the part you're curious about is the mica-based pearlescent stuff. However, mica is not generally safe to eat. The only reason the FDA allows it in this case is because you're going to get a very tiny amount of it. Additionally, there's a vague warning from the FDA to only use edible glitter that states it is "edible". The part that they leave out, though, is that you really want to avoid the ones that just say "non-toxic" because those are probably just straight up plastic that is large enough to pass through your body unabsorbed, which means it qualifies as not being toxic.

[@piketubeman]

Greg we still really need to have some episodes where you try to replicate the drink based solely off the editors notes 😅

[@sambro6657]

[@kappage11]

Technically you only have 6 seconds to drink any potion. You're supposed to chug them all

[@derekstein6193]

​​@@kappage11 There may be alternatives. It may be that alchemists of the realm haven't thought of other delivery systems yet. Like an arrow/bolt with a hypodermic needle and potion cylinder on the end, and it deals 1 + Dex modifier damage on a hit, but you roll with advantage on the healing dice. Or maybe a contact potion? If there are contact and inhaled poisons, why not potions that function similarly? Craft all that crazy goodness. Hell, introduce it to your players by kobolds shooting special, jerry-rigged healing bolts at each other and their tamed, giant combat lizards?

Since you mentioned "aqua vitae" and the various liquors whose names derive from it: The Gaelic translation of "water of life" is "uisce beatha" (Irish) or "uisge-beatha" (Scottish), from which we derive the English word "whiskey".

[@howtodrink]

Sure is- almost made it into the edit

[@charliewilson8782]

24:13 At my table our DM used to make us chug a drink in real life whenever we wanted to drink a potion in game. The better the chug, the more healing we got. They had managed to find a case of Tang from somewhere and none of us liked it so naturally that was what we had to chug in order to get the healing

[@azraelf.6287]

IMO, your real-life chug shouldn't affect the game. Potion of healing as an action should give 10hp; as a bonus action, 2d4+2. But, I have heard of DMs who use the rule 'your character takes a potion, you take a shot'. The idea being that potions are unnatural, and repeated use will affect you. This assumes all players have a safe way home.

[@charliewilson8782]

@@azraelf.6287 After I wrote this I remembered that chugging in real life was actually optional, if we did chug a soda then we would get max healing from the potion but if not then we just rolled for healing

You do in fact always start a cockatrice...I mean cocktail with "Spirits" heh.

[@smylingsnake]

If you're doing agar filtration, I find the more effective method is, after you've hydrated the agar on the stove, to actually put it in the freezer until it's a solid block, then put it in a cloth-lined strainer in the fridge. The water and flavourings will melt way before the agar and solids do. I've done this with oranges and lemons, and it works well, so limes should be no problem!

I think Cachaca is also a really good base spirit to use for any kind of "potion" theming. The funkiness of it lends itself really well to tasting "medicinal" in an otherworldly way.

[@trulyinfamous]

I've been watching this channel for years despite only a couple of months ago turning 21 and am yet to drink any alcohol. Greg is just a great entertainer and I love seeing his craft. If I am to ever make cocktails, 99% of them will be non alcoholic or mocktails as I would like to keep my alcohol consumption to a minimum. Considering my long family history of alcoholism and addiction, I'd rather not unlock some hidden trait lol. I'll just keep drinking water, milk, tea, and occasionally coffee as my main beverages.

[@linearparadox9409]

"Bubbles as if boiling" wouldve been a great opportunity for a shard of dry ice there. Would bubble and roil without actually boiling just like the description, and you'd get that hazy fog effect as a bonus! Other than that, awesome episode. I love how you tried to make them on-brand with not just the color, but the flavors and oddities too, like the drop of milk; that was brilliant, or the "hold my beer" liquid courage angle. Also loved the 'medicinal' angle with them maybe not necessarily needing to be yummy, like the inclusion of salt in the last one. Really cool, inspired stuff. I've been watching your channel for a while and, imo, this is one of your best yet!

[@sarajamesaerial]

Dry ice is a dangerous recommendation for a bartender to make on a public forum. It can burst your stomach if consumed.

[@LeatherRebel75]

You mis-described the Potion of Fire Breath. A Potion of Fire Breath gives the drinker the ability to breath fire, as in expelling a blast of fire, like a dragon's breath, not being able to breathe while consumed in fire. The potion lasts for an hour and gives the drinker three charges to breathe out a blast of fire to a single target within a 30ft range. The target must make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes 4D6 fire damage, or takes half that damage on a successful save.

[@Tharronis]

I heard Greg's description and was like "no, no, absolutely not, no way." Looked it up and found exactly what you did. Mechanics like that just aren't in 5e that I've encountered anyway.

Thank you! You can breathe on the Elemental Plane of Fire just fine... the trick is not immediately bursting into flame.

It was a joke XD. That look he gave at the end of his description was a tell. Also he breathed fire after he made it. He knew what was up.

[@Jackiewicz256]

Haha I was waiting to find this chain of comments :)

[@MrCheshireify]

As a brief note (though there's probebly other comments on it) but potions of fire breathing let you breath OUT fire, similar to a dragon's breath. It does not let you breath in fire.

[@VallornDeathblade]

The most important part of this episode is that Gregg played Dark Sun back in the day, it would be great to hear what your group got up to in that post-apocalyptic setting.

[@howtodrink]

Greg reminds me of that. Thank you, Greg

FUN FACT: It does kind of make sense that healing potions are red given that there are a number of red berries with medicinal properties. These include the like of goji berries, lingonberries, rowan berries, and juniper berries. (Yes…juniper berries are medicinal as is. They do NOT need to ferment into gin first. Don’t go there.) Maple Story actually makes this more literal by having their healing potions all being made of red berries at different concentrations.

24:15 Fun fact! The Strange Brew item in Terraria does exactly this. While there are normal healing potions as well, Strange Brew is noted to both look and smell terrible, and seems to have wildly unstable quality control. It will always heal you by a certain amount, sometimes it'll make you straight up invincible for a moment, and the Potion Sickness debuff (the thing that keeps you from just constantly healing) varies a great deal in length instead of being consistent like the other forms of healing potions.

[@Afterimage121]

Greg, I'd love to see you do a full episode on different super juices. In addition to Nickle Morris, I know Kevin Kos has a recipe that got very popular as well. I personally didn't like that one at all and have instead been using a recipe from Brian Tasch of Corpse Revived, as I think he makes a good argument for taking out the citrus juice entirely to avoid any possible oxidation. Would love to hear your take on different recipes, their merit over regular citrus, and perhaps a blind taste-test with the new setup. Cheers!

There is a very simple and pleasent cocktail which mellows out some of it's stronger more overpowering flavours called a Fjelbeck.

I feel like color theory could help a lot with choosing between glitters. As in, do you want the shimmer to be in stark contrast with the drink? Or do you want it to act more as a support to the color of the drink?

Agar agar decomposes in highly acidic environments as well as with the compounds in many tropical fruit. This decomposition will increase heavily if added to anything over 160F. If you want to try buffering the acid try adding Sodium Citrate. The acid might work in your favor for freeze syneresis of pectin or tapioca starch. Guar gum would be off the table as it highly resists syneresis. If you want to do this more often on the show, I would recommend grabbing a cheap vacuum pump and a vacuum filter flask. You’ll save a lot of time. The cheap $120 pump will do fine for this stuff.

Buchner Funnel? It’s on my list

What perfect timing. I'll make these for my DND session tomorrow!

[@Helmutlozzi]

Beautiful potions worthy of high fantasy. Thank you for including the lime juice extraction!!

I like how Greg slowly slips off into a drunken stooper as the adventure goes on, just like an actual DnD adventure!

Always fun to see people use Aalborg Aquavit, when you live in Aalborg :D

[@mathiasandersen3762]

always fun to see people drink it, when you yourself has built a massive tolerance for the burn. Also agree it is fun to see people use it, when you are from Aalborg.

[@AndrewJacksonSE]

Afraid I prefer O P Andersen’s … sorry Aalborg people

​@@AndrewJacksonSE Dont make me get my pitchfork :D

Whether a healing potion is gross tasting or not isn't really the question, the REAL question is whether it feels refreshing and/or relaxing, or if you literally feel all that healing happen in fast forward.

I have to imagine it's the latter-skin crawling but probably leaves you a bit wired?

[@Fujjums]

Imagine playing a session of D&D but there's a table rule of anytime your character drinks a potion, you have to drink a cocktail/shot based on said potion. Could be great, could be a PROBLEM

Varrying numbers of d4s in 5e ;) 1:57

[@damiensteinrich9677]

I was thinking the same thing

[@yujin_sumeragi]

also, bless doesn't give either of the effects he said :D P.S. it's also just a d4 to attack rolls and saving throws in 5e

[@soubigo]

[@genosho5574]

This sounds like a fun opportunity for some leisurely D&D. Everytime someone wants to use a potion, they gotta drink it.

The telaphone brand of AgarAgar is pretty good, i think it´s the amount of acid. I make kahokuto crystal candies which also use agar agar and you need to bloom and activate the agar agar before you add any acidic elements to it. So you´ll take your agar agar put it with room temperature filtered water and let it sit for five minutes, you then heat the water and add your sugar and then your acidic mixture at the very end, i find this is the only way to get agar agar to set with acidic soloutions

I'm a simple man I see Potion-themed drinks I click I regularly drink stuff out of a glass bottle with a cork to feel like I'm drinking a Potion
