It’s time for another Harry Potter inspired Jello shot! These “Polyjuice Potion” shots are inspired by the potion that Hermione brews up in the trio’s second year and is referenced several other times throughout the series. Polyjuice potion is described as thick and mud-like in consistency with slow bubbles. Since one of the main ingredients listed is boomslang skin (a green snake), I always imagined the potion to be a greenish-brown color.
To get the muddy, bubbly top I added an orange layer of cut up jello, mixed with boba balls! I think this topping helps show the potions “mud like” consistency and the boba gives a little extra texture. I used the white tapioca pearls, but you can buy pre-made boba balls, too. The pre-made ones would make the recipe faster because you wouldn’t have to prepare them! The tapioca pearls have a thicker consistency, so that’s something to take into consideration when you choose which boba to use. Personally, if I made these again I would use the pre-made “popping” kind.
Polyjuice potion is used in the wizarding world to change ones appearance into someone else for a set amount of time. Thankfully, these shots won’t turn you into someone else, just the party version of yourself!
