"Just a pinch," Gela repeats, but she's smiling. They both know what the pinch of elfroot is for.
"It's a secret because if everybody knew it, they would also make it, and then I'd never come across the ingredients as handily as I usually do." And because it would keep her from gifting it to anybody, but she won't say that. It would sound awful aloud.
Something occurs to her when Lia asks her next question. Gela's smile drops off. "Are you worried about the taste? I promise it isn't so bad. You get used to it."
And that way she can talk more about how it all works and how she made it... really, this is her ideal outcome. She says, "Come to the dining hall with me, and we can take some cups and hot water."

Lia, still a little wary, makes an offer.
"Perhaps you'll have some with me?"

"Maybe a little." She says shyly as if admitting something very embarrassing. "I didn't want to be rude."
She takes a breath.
"If you showed me how to brew it properly, it would help!"
