Okay, so I’ve been seeing these “witchcraft potions” all over my feed lately, and, like, I had to try it. I’m not even kidding, my inner child was screaming. So, I decided, “You know what? Let’s do it.” I found a few recipes online, and it looked… manageable. Honestly, my biggest concern was finding some decent-looking bottles, because, aesthetic, you know?
Getting Started
First things first, I needed ingredients. I didn’t want to get anything too crazy, because, let’s be real, I was mostly doing this for the ‘gram. I grabbed some:
- Sparkling water – Gotta have those bubbles, right?
- Food coloring – Various shades of creepy, of course.
- Dry ice – For that spooky, smoky effect. I’ve never used it before, so I was a bit nervous.
- Different small bottles – Clear ones to show the color.
- Glitter-Optional.
Mixing the “Potions”
Next up,the process of mixing, it was time to actually make the potions. I laid everything out on my counter, put on some spooky music (because ambiance is key), and got to work. I filled each bottle about halfway with the sparkling water. Then came the fun part: the food coloring!
I did one in a deep purple, another in a sickly green, and a third in a vibrant, almost glowing blue. I added a few drops of food coloring, swirled it around, and watched the magic happen. They looked pretty cool already, even without the dry ice.
The Dry Ice Drama
Okay, this is where things got a little interesting. Dry ice is COLD, like, super cold. I’d watched a bunch of videos, so I knew I needed to use tongs and wear gloves. I carefully chipped off a few small pieces of dry ice and dropped them into the first bottle.
The reaction of it is amazing! The potion started bubbling and smoking like crazy, overflowing a bit onto the counter (oops). It looked SO cool, though! Like something straight out of a movie. I repeated the process with the other bottles, and soon my kitchen looked like a mad scientist’s lab.
The Final Result
Honestly, I was pretty impressed with myself. The potions looked amazing, especially with the dry ice smoke billowing out.
I added a pinch of edible glitter to each bottle, just to give them an extra bit of sparkle. Because why not, right?
I took a ton of pictures and videos, obviously. The lighting was key, I found that a darker room with some strategically placed candles made them look extra witchy.
Cleanup was a bit of a pain, ngl. The food coloring stained my counter a little (lesson learned: use a cutting board next time!), and the dry ice took a while to completely evaporate. But overall, it was totally worth it. I had a blast, and my “potions” got a ton of likes, so, mission accomplished!
