Potions can be used as adjuncts to spells. I've never used a love potion, because it seems dishonest to me - akin to spiking someone's drink. The only potions I have ever made are those I drank myself. There is also the difficulty of getting the correct person, and only that person, to drink the potion. But if you really want to make one, try this:

Get rosewater, which is sold in gourmet shops and Middle Eastern grocery stores.  Fill your chalice with it and add five drops of red food coloring. Cast a circle, perform a love spell, and use your wand or athame to charge the potion with the spell.

Rosewater is used in baking and confectionary so the potion could be added to baked goods or candy, which might be easier to administer. I'd suggest a rosewater-scented angelfood cake, frosted with pink vanilla icing and decorated with candied violets (unless the object of your affection is diabetic or dieting, of course).

You could also mix the potion with vodka, cut a plug in a watermelon, pour it in, and allow it to steep overnight in the refrigerator. The same potion and vodka mixture could also be used to marinate a bowl of fruit salad made with apples, pears, figs, apricots, raspberries, peaches, orange slices, and strawberries.
