You need to crush the crystals first! Where is your copy of potion making by the half blood prince!!!
Silly muggle, Advanced Potion Making wasn't written by Snape, just corrected
Use encapsulated pop-rocks with a timed membrane degradation.
It doesn't actually make a drinkable cappuccino. It just looks like a cappuccino.
This sounds really interesting. If you are finding the real, drinkable cappucino, sorry, this is not what you want. As I am a chemist, I deal with strange things with chemicals. In reality, chemistry is really linked with food and drinks, perhaps I can tell you more about real cappucino one day.
Now the real question is "How does this taste compared to a Starbucks cappuccino?" ;)
To me, it is even more delicious than Starbucks one, which I will faint out soon after I drink! XD
Is it...to die for? Sorry, I had to say it! ;P
I am not sure if you will die if you drink, but for sure, to hospital!
Actually the permanganate crystals is powered, but you know, even the finest powder of permanganate is rough. Moreover, the container is much larger than the content itself, this explain that I have to spend some time to find the crystals.
