Alchemical preparation (6)

I believe the answer is:

elixir

(Other definitions for elixir that I've seen before include "Panacea, nostrum" , "Magical or medicinal potion" , "Medicinal liquid believed to cure all ills" , "A life-giving drink" , "Magic potion" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard and The Independent.
