Herbalism - Barberry tea

[Meliae]

Hello everybody,

I started playing a few days ago, and I decided that my character would be a herbalist. So I came to see Aleena. One of the first things she asks to her apprentices is to find barberry roots, to cut them with kitchen knife and to make tea with it.
- I have found barberry root.
- I tried to cut them with a kitchen knife, but all I can get from it is sticky goo... Is this the result I should get, or is there something I do wrong ?
Also, She said that I need a mug of hot water to make the tea, and I cannot find one. Does she give it once I get to cut correctly the barberry root ? Or do I still have to find it ?

Thanks advance for any useful answer,

Meliae

Did you remember to keep your book in mind?

Hint hint, wink wink, nudge nudge.

Thank you for your help, MishkaL1138, I've been able to make this tea !

Whew.  At least you didn't need to worry about them Barberry pirates.
