What does a healing potion taste like?

I imagine them being cold, so cold that you can feel it travel down to your stomach.

… Is that weird?

@Shuri-the-Floof-Doggo

Nope!

Yeah! That's what I'm saying! I think healing potion would taste like that!

@JiaGrace

I imagine it wouldn't be so much of a taste, but more of a ~feeling~.
Say you got stabbed or whatever kids do these days.
You take a drink of said potion, and it's cold at first. When you first swallow it, you can feel that cold feeling travel down your throat. As it reaches your stomach, it blossoms into an unbelievable warmth, the area around the wound growing a soothing numb feeling from the warmth. The warmth sends electric shocks through your body, from a release of pressure in your skull to a tingling feeling at the ends of your fingers. It's how you'd imagine jump-starting a car would feel, a gradual but somehow abrupt feeling of strength jolting the nerves in your body awake and sending them to the affected area to speed up the healing process.
It all happens within a few seconds, I'd say, it's a lot of different feelings within a short period of time (depending on the skill behind the alchemist who created said potion)

Have I mentioned that I think about these things a lot because I do.

@Yamatsu

Technically, if you ingested a potion that would heal you extremely quickly, you would poop yourself. The body needs nutrients and whatnot to heal, so not only would it have to be gigantic, but it would also taste disgusting. Then, as your body heals, it removes all of the waste and infection and dead cells into your digestive tract. Then, you would poop yourself, and that's just adding insult to injury.

@Norepinephrinxx

I imagine it looking like a cloudy/clear white colour thats been infused with all sorts of leafy plants and so it would taste something like cucumber water but with more leafy flavors added…if that makes any sense

@The-N-U-T-Cracker

This is all great, but now that I'm thinking about it, what do you think a love potion would taste like?

@Norepinephrinxx

A light pink liquid thats syrupy and sweet, but thick and you can feel it globbing down your throat.

@Yamatsu

Love potions are great until they work too well and everyone starts kissing you.

That, or they turn into horrible monsters and you have to hop over to another dimension to escape them.

No, but honestly, I imagine it tasting like amoxicillin, that horrible pink medicine. I get shivers thinking about it (or maybe it's because I'm allergic to it).

@The-N-U-T-Cracker

I dunno why but I've always thought a love potion would be kinda addictive and taste like a chocolate-covered strawberry.

LOVE POTION NUMBER NINE

@Yamatsu

I wish I had as positive an outlook on liquid medicines and potions as you. I can't even take Robitussin without making a face.

@Yamatsu

LOVE POTION NUMBER NINE

Thanks! Good thing you didn't point out the Rick and Morty reference first.

@Yamatsu

Good. It's better that way.

Okay…

@Mindful_Bison

Can everybody agree that a magic/mana potion would taste bitter? That's always how I've thought of it.

@Joy_

I read an unpublished book once where the healing potion tasted like life, all at once. Bitter, spicy, sweet, painful, but mostly raw, like it was unfiltered, cause that is what life is. It burned, and it didn't taste good, but at the same time it was healing like you had to hurt, but then you would be okay.

I actually imagined a mana potion as being extremely refreshing and super cold, also instantly energizing. Tastes kinda bittersweet and makes you alert and feel alive the moment you drink it. I usually think of health potions as relaxing and making people kinda sleepy for some reason
