Hallibert's wand? Drinks!

dining

We were invited to a family home for dinner a few weeks ago on the weekend. The owner of the house is American, studying for a doctorate in theology at the University of Leuven, the hostess is Mongolian, and there is a lovely little daughter.

After dinner, the hostess brought out a mysterious drink, and no one knew what it was? After using google translate, still no clue. One of our group suddenly said, this seems to have happened in Harry Potter.

"Elderberry" Wand

It is one of the three magical items in the Harry Potter universe.

"The Elder Wand, also known as The Deathstick, Wand of Destiny, is the most powerful wand ever built. Fifteen inches long, the wand's core is the magic substance of the Knight's Ponytail ( The author's official website confirmed), originally held by the eldest brother Antio of the three brothers, the inheritance method is to defeat the previous holder. It is the most widely circulated and most relevant news of the three death sacred objects, and many well-known duels in the magic world. It is the wand in the book, and even people who don't know the holy grail of the dead have heard of this wand, and Zano Rogood even described it as "the bloody memory of the elder wand throughout wizarding history."

How to eat:

First push out the iron bar next to the bottle mouth (be careful not to use it), and the plastic stopper connected to it will be released. After opening the stopper, pour it out in one go, and use a cup to connect the edge of the bottle to prevent leakage. You can add water according to your personal preference. It is recommended not to pour too much, otherwise it will be too thick.

Elderberry syrup water tastes sweet and has a special fragrance. I checked the information on the Internet, and it is said that there are some curative effects. But I don't know if it's true. But at least it's better than drinks that are high in sugar.

I went to the supermarket and saw it was on sale.

A bottle of 3.85 euros is not too expensive. So we bought a bottle to go home and have a drink whenever we want.

I've also seen people upload DIY ways to make them. But the most important thing is to find the elderberry.
