I always imagined them as being red and tasting like red gushers for some reason.
What do you think? What do they taste like in your mind?

I think they taste like hot peppers as they go down your throat, burning.

That's a new one

I thought they either tasted like synthetic cherry flavoring in medicine or just straight-up soda.

Yeah, I like the idea of it being painful and than a cooling sensation washes over you as the potion takes effect.

I've always imagined them as tasting like warm herbal tea I guess?

This is all super interesting
Plus its funny how we are never told what something so important tastes like

lol yeah
if I had healing potions in my stories, I'd probably describe it as something that changes from person to person

Yeah, that seems like it's true irl too!

Oh that's a really good idea.
I just think it might have a soda texture cuz you usually see bubbles and stuff in it.

Wait
What if they're different types. Like you have the soda bubblies, then the smooth water-like, then sweet syrup for childrens?

Oof I've imagined it tasting rose? Not the smell rose the taste rose, apparently not a lot of people have eaten rose flavored things.
I have also imagined them as just being fanta exotic before.

I've also had the idea that it tastes completely different depending on whoever crafted it? Like the taste is completely unique to the person who made it, and it somewhat reflects who they are.

That's a pretty cool one,I like that!

The first thing that came into my mind was ginger ale, when I read this.

Wow

I think I just assumed it would be fruit flavored since it's typically red

Lush and verdant, like you're tasting the forest (Sounds weird I know…)

I know what you mean,kind of.

It tastes like the blood of the person who drinks it.

That's a new one.

it doesn't taste like carrots. F E A R T H E C A R R O T S

I always imagined it being smooth, thin, and slightly minty with a hint of lavender. I do like the idea of it changing from person to person though.

That sounds delicious…
