All Recipes In Cairn And How To Cook Them

As you can see below, a few recipes in Cairn don’t necessarily require a set-in-stone combination of items and can be cooked by pairing their main ingredients with multiple options within a set type. Keep in mind that replacing clear water with sweet beverages or adding sweet ingredients (like Chocolate and Sugar) to your drinks lets you make Extra Sweet variants. In the same fashion, you can make Herbal variants by mixing ingredients with infusions or tea.

Using milk then allows you to get Creamy variations, while booze or other alcoholic beverages cause your dishes to be FlambƩed. For intense drinks, simply mix the finished product with its main ingredient one more time (ex, Tea + Tea Bag and Chocolate Drink + Chocolate). Each variant also offers either alternative or increased effects, so make sure to test them all out.
