Begin by combining sugar, water, food coloring and flavor in a small pot. Heat to medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. Stir as the mixture is dissolving.
Once the sugar is dissolved, remove the pot from heat and let it cool to room temperature. This will give the fresh herbs (if using) more time to steep into the mixture.
Strain into a small pitcher or any container with a pouring spout. Make sure all herbs are strained out.
Using a small funnel, strain the mixture into each potion bottle. Label them if desired.
These potions (syrups) can be stored in containers in the fridge. They will last for at least one month if stored in the refrigerator.
Don't forget to add real magic! This can be done by letting your child enchant each bottle using a magic wand (you may use a wooden kitchen spoon if a wand is not available).

The best way to enjoy love potion is by adding about a tablespoon to a fresh, hot cup of tea.
Use any color you like or omit the color entirely for a clear potion.
The most magical part of these potions are the handmade labels in children's handwriting. I think it adds a special something!
