Make this love potion to sip with your partner at your first meeting together after a rift. Blend the brew in advance to allow it to steep for several days in a cool cupboard.
You will need: 1 teaspoon apothecary's rose (also known as Common Provins Rose) petals; a few leaves of alecost (or costmary); a pinch of safforn; a bottle of sherry
Crush the herbs and flowers together (The costmasy intensifies the scent of the roses and saffron) and add to the bottle of sherry. Store in a cool place for a few days. When you wish to serve it to your partner, strain into small glassess.
This lovely concotion will ease the tensions at what otherwise might be a tricky meeting.
