Backlog: Never Too Old ~ A Manly Brew

Here's a backlog recipe from waaaay back: Thanksgiving, to be precise. I hadn't yet revived this blog with a steady stream of new fuel!

I don't have a lot of nearby family, so I usually end up spending it with one or more friends. And, in true Snape-style, giving thanks for basic things like good food, a bed, friends with whom I can commisserate about humanity's state of idiocy, and one more day alive in which to get done what I want to do.

The food was definitely delicious, and we all spent the night. But at our little celebration was a fellow with a lovely British accent named Heath, who had brought work to do. I came into the dining room to find him sitting at one end of the table, which was spread with little plastic pouches of powdered herbs. Furthermore, he had a small digital scale and cup.
A potion!

Heath was quite happy to share the recipe he was blending with me, which he'd compounded for a male client of his. Since one of the ways I learned Potistry was dissecting and analyzing others' recipes, to me this simple knowledge is a small form of gold.
Here I present my lesson from that day!

And no, we're not letting you have any, Albus. But we're conspiring to dope Severus's coffee when he's not looking.


Male Libido, age 75 and over

3 grams Maca
3 grams Nettleleaf
3 grams Dandelion
6-9 grams Guarana
3 grams Horny Goat Weed
3 grams Burdock
3 grams Ashwagandha
3 grams Saw Palmetto
6 grams Ginkgo
3 grams White Panax Ginseng
3 grams Hibiscus
3 grams Blueberry
3 grams Blackberry leaf

Blend powders well.
Macerate or infuse.

Note: I say 6-9 grams of Guarana because Heath himself had planned to put in six, and ended up putting in nine. Guarana is a stimulant, so use as needed, with caution if suffering from high blood pressure.
