'The recipes for potions in this world are truly bizarre.'
Ren had this to say when he first read the story and found the list of ingredients for the common health potions, and he said it again when he started learning about potion making from the clan.
The common herbs and spices such as rosemary, thyme, fennel seeds, coriander, star anise, cinnamon sticks, hell, even salt and pepper are used. The same herbs and spices that could often be seen in earthly cuisine were also available in this world. However, in this world, they're not just used to add more flavor profile in a dish; they're also commonly used for potion making.
Of course, these common things alone aren't enough. If you boil a handful of them, all you'd get at most is a flavorful soup, not much more. The real essence that put magic in potions was monster parts.
