    What kind of potion is this?

    This is not a specific potion. It is just for kids to have fun. Let them make it what they want.

    Can I make a potion for healing?
    Community Answer
    These are more for kids to have fun! But to make it look like a healing potion, use light colours.
  • Question
    Are these potions safe to drink?
    Community Answer
    No. The only one that doesn't contain toxic ingredients is the color-changing potion, and the combination of cabbage water, vinegar and baking soda wouldn't taste good.

    Community Answer
    Yes, you could store it in a sealed container in the refrigerator, but you'll need to bring it to room temperature before using it.

    Can I drink a potion?
    Community Answer
    Only if it’s made of edible substances such as water, salt and sugar, blueberries (disguised as black pearls), maybe something from a cake-decorating kit. Don't use dish soap or glitter.
