One rod from a blaze

Find a Nether fortress and kill blazes until a rod drops. Keep one. You do not need a Crafting Table for this, though the table still works.

Any square, two powder

Open the inventory 2×2. Put the blaze rod in any of the four squares and leave the rest empty. Two blaze powder appear on the right; take them. The same shapeless recipe works on a Crafting Table.

Fuel the stand, or brew

Drop powder into the fuel slot of a brewing stand; that is what keeps the bottles cooking. One powder plus gunpowder and coal also makes a fire charge. The powder stacks to 64.
