**PLEASE READ SOLUTION GUIDELINES BEFORE COMMENTING ON THIS SOLUTION**
***If there are any questions about this solution, feel free to ask in the comment section or message me on XB1, other wise, do not comment or post a solution in a solution that is already posted. Use the create a solution to create your own for that reason. Thanks in advance.***
This Achievement should be fairly easy in the tutorial world I assume, but I have completed in my own survival world and these are the steps to take:
Items needed:
1x Water bottle
1x Gunpower
1x Nether Wart
1x Spider Eye
Assuming that you know how to use the brewing station you will need to brew this potion in this same exact order to get a Splash Poison Potion.
Add 1x Water bottle and 1x Gunpowder to the brewing station to create a Splash Water Bottle.
Next, while keeping the Splash Water Bottle in place, replace the gunpowder with the 1x Nether Wart to create a "Akward Splash Potion",
Next, replace the Nether Wart with a 1x Spider Eye that you can get from killing spiders to the Akward Splash Potion to create "Splash Potion of Poison (0.45)
**Note**
You can add glowstone dust to the current Splash Potion of Poison (0.45) to create "Splash Potion of Poison II (0.21) or replace the glowstone with Redstone to create "Splash Potion of Poison+" but not sure how the others effect the Witch considering I only tried the first "Splash Potion of Poison (0.45).
In order to throw potions the bottle has to say Splash or the player will drink the potion instead.
**NOTE**
Ok, moving on. Wait til dark and go searching for a witch or if you have a cave near by that they spawn fairly then that might be your best chance. I would also prepare two potions just incase you may need a back up or if the first one didnt work. Now find a Witch and give her a Taste of Her own Medicine for a nice 20gs to add to your achievement collection.
If you are confused on how to brew the potion, message me and I would be glad to help out the details. Happy Hunting.

Confirming I got this in the tutorial world at the witch hut I mentioned above. However I would not recommend getting the potion mentioned it's faster to make your own all off the stuff you need is in the potion making area along the right after the spawn point, except for the spider eye so start on easy and find spiders . The reason I say this because the world is a pain to traverse quickly. Bring lots of food and what ever tools and armor you can find.
I have a screen shot of where he was standing for me but somethings up with live right now and I cant up load it , for me he was on the hill , with the hut to your back look up and left slightly -356 74 76. Its not a guaranteed spawn I don't think so you may have to enter and leave the area and check the genral area around the hut. Turn the music down so you cna hear him, as he his as noisy as a normal villager. Also make a save once it begins to get dark so you can reload and don't have to wait for night again.
I've checked this twice now and both times I was able to get him to appear in 5-15 minutes of trying.

No, i'm not quite sure, but i figure that since the witch throws poison or some effects when you are hit with her potions, so as the achievement stated, I gave her a piece of her own medicine. Poison.

Great guide(s)!! Not really a solution but I have a witch trapped in a hole if anyone is having a hard time (took me 5 hours to find one!). Feel free to send me a message and I can help. Gf needs help with The Beginning/Beaconator/The Beginning? if anyone can help with can exchange it would be appreciated.

Damn thing wouldn't pop for me even after multiple attempts. What worked was a full power off and on again of my Xbox and it popped immediately after that. Credit to someone in the comments of one of the guides who I can't find now to give credit by name.

Load the Elytra tutorial.
First we need a splash potion. The hardest ingredient to get is a regular old Spider Eye from a spider. You'll need to be playing on a difficulty other than peaceful for this.
Enemy spawn tip
Head to an area where you can see a decent amount of space. Slightly outside the village to the left (west on the map) is another little hut village with a hill behind it. This place works great. Save the game here at night on peaceful. If you aren't on peaceful, save it, reload it on peaceful, then save it. Now just reload this save on easy to get a new monster spawn. You should have line of sight to a bunch of areas. You can walk around for 30 seconds or so and if you don't see a spider reload.
With your spider eye, head back in to the village and head East/right of the beacon to find the brewing area. The area slightly to the right of the brewing area has a fireworks chest. Open it and grab
- Gunpowder
Now head to the chest next to the brewing stand and grab:
- Empty Bottle
- Nether Wart
- Blaze Powder
Use an empty bottle on the sink to fill it with water.
Now use the brewing station.
- Place the Blaze Powder in the upper left
- Put the Bottle of Water in the leftmost potion slot
- Put the Nether Wart in the top slot
- Wait for the Awkward Potion to brew
- Put the Spider Eye in the top slot
- Wait for the Potion of Poison to brew
- Put the Gunpowder in the top slot
- Wait for the Splash Potion of Poison to Brew
Head back to where you found the spider and use the tip above to get the Witch to spawn. I only had to load three times before I could see one. Save before you throw the potion just in case it doesn't pop.

Can you give the coordinates of the hut village? I'm not sure which huts you're but talking about.
By Simm on 06 Feb 2017 15:02
I can track them down if you need them but the huts themselves are irrelevant. If you're heading west towards the boat/fishing area they are slightly to your left and just up the hill.

You may have the ingredients to make a splash poison potion in the actual tutorial town, but I found a small tree fort in the tutorial world that already had the ingreds as well as an already made splash poison potion at coords X:286, Y:93, Z: -10.
Go to the top floor and there are 2 brewing stations one with potion of invis and splash poison and another with health and swiftness. It also has some ingreds for other potions if you want to take those for other achievements as well as nether wart and nether bricks (without having to go to nether).
After getting the free potion just find a witch and hit her with it. Simple!
