"Salutations, frost-bitten adventurer! Professor Eldrin Nightshade here, speaking to you from beneath three wool blankets and a rather judgmental cat named Schrödinger.
Allow me to present Blizzard Brew - a most fortuitous discovery born from a particularly unfortunate incident involving an ice elemental, a poorly timed sneeze, and what I can only describe as 'aggressive winter weather conditions' inside my laboratory.
Don't Ask.

This frosty concoction contains a carefully curated arsenal of respiratory allies:
-
Peppermint Leaves: Cooling menthol magic for your throat - clears airways like a Blizzard spell clears a battlefield
-
Orange: Bright citrus notes to cut through the chill and add a touch of warmth
-
Ginger: Warming spice that battles the cold from within - the fire to balance the ice
-
Eucalyptus: The icy breath of winter itself - opens airways with crystalline clarity
-
Cinnamon: Sweet warming spice that soothes while it heals
-
Licorice: Ancient remedy for respiratory distress (and surprisingly sweet for something medicinal)
-
Fennel Seed: Gentle respiratory support with a subtle anise-like sweetness
-
Schisandra Berry: Adaptogenic wonder-berry that supports overall wellness and resilience
-
Mullein Leaf: Traditional lung support herb - the unsung hero of respiratory wellness
-
Lemon Grass: Bright, citrusy finish that adds refreshing clarity to the blend
◄ Casting Instructions ►
Standard Brew: Combine 1 heaping teaspoon with 8 oz of boiling water (212°F). Steep for 5-7 minutes whilst contemplating how you caught this dreadful cold in the first place. (Was it the ice dungeon? The snow level? Standing too close to that goblin during flu season?)
Emergency Protocol: When afflicted with the 'Common Cold' status effect, brew immediately. Inhale the eucalyptus-laden steam for additional respiratory benefits. The menthol vapors alone are worth the price of admission.
Pro Tip: Excellent with honey for additional throat-soothing properties. I personally add a touch of lemon when my voice has been reduced to what can only be described as 'gravel in a blender.'
◄ The Origin Story ►
The Blizzard Brew formula was perfected during what I now refer to as 'The Great Laboratory Freeze of Last Winter.' An ice elemental - summoned accidentally during what was supposed to be a simple temperature regulation experiment - took up residence in my workspace for approximately three days.
The resulting cold (both literal and metaphorical) left me with a cough that sounded like a malfunctioning accordion and a desperate need for respiratory relief. Thus, I assembled every throat-soothing, lung-supporting herb in my considerable collection and created this frosty remedy.
The ice elemental, I'm pleased to report, eventually departed. My respiratory system, however, required significantly more coaxing. Blizzard Brew proved instrumental in my recovery, and I've kept it in stock ever since. (One never knows when Ragnar might leave another window open during a snowstorm.)
◄ Adventurer Testimonials ►
★★★★★ "Saved me after the Yeti quest. My throat went from 'angry fire demon' to 'functional human' in two cups." -Dwarf Prince
★★★★★ "Better than using any status cure for cold symptoms. Tastes like winter but in a good way." -Summoner
★★★★★ "The eucalyptus cleared my sinuses faster than a frostball to the face. 10/10 would brew again." - Monster Hunter(Retired)
⚡ ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: "Winter Warrior" - Stock Blizzard Brew before cold and flu season begins.
Remember: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, but a cup of Blizzard Brew is worth its weight in Phoenix Sparks when you're already sick.
Yours in respiratory wellness (and strategic window maintenance),
