Teabrewing

In Game Description

This skill is the art of combining herbs and in some recipes other ingredients with boiling water to make various flavours of tea.

Most brewers will need a recipe book, but as skills increase brewers can remember a favourite recipe or work out how to brew a herb just by looking at it.

Some teas require multiple ingredients, and there are ways of preparing the tea differently which may be easier or harder. Advanced brewers can retain some of the effects of the herbs they are using, making herbal teas which can have a variety of different effects on the drinker.

To start brewing, get a kettle, or cauldron if you're already more versed in the skill, and use the brew command. You will need a suitable heat source, and will need to fill the kettle with water or a base tea before you start.
