You'll first need to juice your cauldron up with about two furlongs of fresh water.

Next you'll need some baby corn but not too much. Three corns is too much, even two corns is too much, the optimum amount is one corn, a unicorn.

You'll want your unicorn to be white so add a whitening agent such as McCririck Milk.

Finally add a half a black fruit, it’s also a rich source a garriboldy, essential in the formation of mythical creatures.

The carefully reach inside your cauldron and feel around until you feel the spike of a tiny horn and pull it out.

Your unicorn will start out pretty small but with a week will grow to a full sized horse thing.

Why the long face? He must be hungry. Although unicorns make great pets, they do eat a lot, so you're going to have to make sure you've got plenty of the right food.

Unicorns like to eat straw, but it tastes best when covered in strawberry syrup.

When feeding offer the straw to the unicorn, keep a safe distance and stay clear of the horn, they are very sharp.
