Witch's Brew

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Brüe times tüe... er, two.

Witch's Brew is a phrase that Homestar Runner says a lot—a habit begun by Strong Bad when he dressed up as Homestar for Halloween.

Witch's Brew is "cold-hot-fresh," according to Homestar, who has sold jars of it for $10 each. Side effects of Witch's Brew include wine, women, and song. It is potable—The Cheat drank a bottle from Homestar in an attempt to cure his hiccups, which did not cease.
