Powdered Eggs, Lard, and Prune Juice

Álarr waited patiently, glancing over at his companions who had a small, hot fire going. He nodded approvingly. Soon the pups arrived. First was Ulmaria and then Raven. Álarr watched carefully, tensing a bit to leap toward Raven if the boy got to close to the fire but luckily the pup course corrected. "Thanks for joining me. I thought we could make some peppermint tea today. It can help with upset stomachs as well as colds. Raven, this is Ulmaria, Ulmaria this is Raven. You're cousins." Were they cousins? He wasn't a hundred percent sure. The relationships in the Imperialis family were all over the place and with a patriarch as old as Valentine ages didn't really mean to much.

Álarr settled down. "In front of each of you is a bowl with some water in it. Next to the bowl is some peppermint. It has a strong and distinct scent you'll want to memorize. There should be enough there for one cup of tea. Take the leaves off the stem and add them to the tea. Raven, let me know if you need any assistance."
