As for how to actually craft Elixirs in Tears of the Kingdom, it works the same way as if you were cooking a regular meal. All you have to do is hold at least one insect or critter, as well as monster parts like Moblin Horns, etc, and toss them into the pot and start cooking.

Make sure not to mix them up with regular cooking ingredients, though, or you’ll end up with a Dubious Meal instead.
