Potion Making 101: The Sleep Potion

Preheat your Cauldron to 350F

How to get the chlorophyll
1.Put leaves in the cup, pour in boiling water until it covers the sample. Leave for ~30 sec to 1 min. Remove leaves from water and dry them with paper towel. Boiling water kills the cells and destroys enzymes which can promote chlorophyll degradation. It also breaks chloroplatsts which makes chlorophyll extraction easier.

2.Take the leaves and remove petioles and central veins - this parts of leaf do not contain a lot of pigments. Throw them away. Cut the rest of the leaf material into the small 1-2 mm pieces. Spread them evenly on the foil and put it in the oven for 20 minutes at temperature 104F (40C).

3.Put dry leaf pieces in the mortar (make sure mortar and pestle are perfectly dry!) and grind them. Continue until they turn into uniform yellow-green powder. Grinding breaks cell walls and at the same time increases area of the surface. Leaf grinds will release more pigment.

4.Put powder in a jar or container with tight lid. Add few ml of solvent, close the lid and shake

5. Wait 10 minutes to 30 minutes max. then go back and check if you did ever thing right then There should be emerald-green slightly opalescent liquid on top of dark green powder (which will sink to the bottom of the container)This is it. Chlorophyll is extracted. At the moment it's pretty diluted and solution contaminated with fine debris from the broken cells. Remains of chloroplasts and other cell components are floating in liquid making it slightly foggy.
