| abstract | - A heat wave has struck Cackle's Academy and Miss Bat has let the girls practice their Chanting outside. The girls use it as an opportunity to sunbathe on the broomshed roof, until Miss Hardbroom catches them and punishes them by making them clear out the locker room. Meanwhile Miss Hardbroom is fed up with Miss Bat's irresponsible attitude to teaching and her habit of eating flowers. A row subseqeuntly develops ending with Miss Bat locking herself in the staffroom cupboard until further notice. Miss Cackle, being of an amiable nature, magics the girls a refreshing summer drink, and then sets them a task of re-creating the drink by natural means only. For once Ethel and Drusilla team up with Mildred and her friends. After several unsuccessful attempts to make the drink using natural products, Mildred comes upstairs and interrupts Miss Hardbroom yelling at Miss Bat, and asks Miss Bat for help, saying that she believes flowers are the key ingredient to the drink. While out collecting flowers, Mildred and Drusilla have a fight and end up in the river, causing Miss Hardbroom to separate Ethel and Drusilla from the group and allow them to work on their own, making the challenge a competition. While Mildred and her group mix the flowers, Ethel thumbs through potion books to find a way to cheat. When Mildred and her friends manage to successfully re-create Cackle's magic drink using flowers, Ethel and Drusilla sabatoge their drink by spiking it with chilli sauce. When Ethel presents it to the three witch teachers, her magic drink results in a severe case of the Foster's effect, sending Miss Cackle, Miss Hardbroom and Miss Bat shooting through the Great Hall ceiling when they taste it. As Punishment, Ethel and Drusilla are assigned to operate a large fan to cool off the students.
