Warming Potion

Warming Potion is an old recipe for a lactescence (milk-based potion) that is said to have originated in Iceland. The potion creates a warm, pleasant sensation, almost like being wrapped in a warm blanket, and protects one from cold weather, making one warm and cozy even in a blizzard. However, the potion cannot protect from ice-based spells.

It is recommended to drink the potion warm, but that is not necessary. 1 cup à 100 ml will last for approximately 12 hours.

When imbibed hot while suffering from a cold, Warming Potion supposedly works wonders in conjunction with cold medicine.
