Crafted with meticulous care, a touch of elven magic, and a dash of nature, this refreshing drink is renowned for its rejuvenating properties and exquisite taste, making it a favored beverage among the inhabitants of the elven realms. Due to its unique qualities, important historical appeal, and wonderful flavors, this drink recipe has survived the passage of time and been passed down through the ages from Moon Elf, to Moon Elf, and then to the Grey Elves.

Raw materials & Components

Luminara's Breeze is a special mixture of rare and ethereal ingredients, carefully harvested from the enchanted forests and shimmering glades of the ancient elven domains. The key components include:
1. Gladespring Water: This water must be drawn from the enchanted springs hidden deep within the heart of the elven forests. This eternally cold, pure, and crystalline water is known for its low temperatures and revitalizing properties. It is said to carry within it the whispers of ancient spirits and the wisdom of the natural world.
2. Frost Mint: Found in secluded groves where the air is perpetually fresh, and harvested during the first frosts of autumn. Frost Mint contributes a cooling and invigorating quality to the drink. Its leaves release a crisp aroma that carries the essence of the elven woodlands.
3. Silverstar Nectar: Extracted from the blossoms of the elusive Silver Starflower, this nectar adds a hint of celestial sweetness to the beverage. The flowers only bloom under the light of a shooting star, and their essence is said to be a rare gift from Mimea, Goddess Of Plants.
4. Sun Citrus Juice: Handpicked from the branches of the Sun Citrus tree, these fruits are bathed in the warm glow of the morning sun. Their tangy flavor invokes the energy of the sun with its warm embrace and balances perfectly with the other moon and star essences within the beverage.
5. Moon Drops: Accumulated mystical dew, gathered under the light of the full moon, these glistening droplets are said to capture the pure essence of the illuminated night. These drops need to be collected from the leaves of the Silvercrescent Blossom and they impart a subtle, silvery glow to the drink.
