Ground Anthas Root

You helped Arghas Ironfoot the Mercenary on Dalimond Ridge make some Anthas Root Tea. He also delivered some to Julie Balish the Cook in Dalimond and she liked it a lot. Now she is willing to teach you how to make the tea for yourself.

Quest text[edit]

<player>, I wanted to thank you again for bringing this wonderful tea to my attention. Since I started selling it here in Dalimond sales have been extraordinary. I believe I have even improved the recipe... While Arghas' recipe was good, human tastes aren't quite as unrefined as Dwarven. That is to say that Dwarves prefer their drinks more bitter and less sweet, while humans, at least here in Dalimond, prefer it sweeter.

But, I digress. I called you here because as the person who brought the recipe to me I wanted to cut you in on the market. I will teach you to make Anthas Root Tea and give you the recipe for yourself. Consider it a gesture of thanks on my part. Are you interested?

Excellent! *she claps her hands* Now, down to business. First, you will need to gather a sufficient supply of Anthas Root. When you have them you will need to grind the root into powder. You can use this formula to make the ground root. Grind enough root to make ten units of Ground Anthas Root and then return here to me.

You have received 1 Formula: Confectioner Rare Garnish: Anthas Root.

*she looks over the ground root* Yes, yes, this will do nicely. It must be ground very fine or it won't flavor the tea properly. Now, the remaining ingredients are straight-forward.... Milk and Ground Sugar. These are added to the tea to help reduce the bitterness. And it works best when prepared in an Earthenware Mug. Here is the recipe for mugs as well.

The final step, <player>, is to boil the ingredients and produce the tea. A cauldron works best and you will need a good brew stirrer, otherwise the milk will burn. Good luck and enjoy!

Steps[edit]

  • Listen to Julie
  • Grind sufficient Anthas Root to produce ten (10) units of Ground Anthas Root
  • Return to Dalimond with the Ground Anthas Root
  • Listen to Julie's Instructions
