potion-making
Crafting magical drinks
Potion-making is the craft of preparing potions—liquid mixtures believed to have magical, medicinal, or transformative properties.
The term belongs primarily to fantasy fiction and folklore, where witches and wizards brew concoctions in cauldrons: She studied potion-making at the academy.
Outside fantasy contexts, it may describe herbal medicine preparation or appear ironically for mixing drinks.
