I’m ~200 moves into Magor Investigates and trying to cure the archivist’s stomach problems. I think I need to make herbal tea for him, and I have the ingredients specified in the herbal, and have put the herbs in the mug, but I can’t figure out how to get water into the mug.
I’ve tried filling the sink in the small alcove in the basement, but I just keep getting a response saying there’s no point in putting water in the mug. I can’t find another container that looks to be suitable for water, either. Josh Grams’s review mentions the puzzle and shows a solution that depends on a kettle, naturally enough, but searching through my transcript shows I haven’t seen it mentioned at all, even though I try to be thorough about examining things.
Can anyone shed any light here?
