We guess that it was some sort of herbs. Friar Lawrence calls it a "distilling liquor" which might make you think that its primary ingredient was booze, but more likely means it was a kind of tea. What kind, exactly, we don't know, because he doesn't give us the recipe.

The poison Juliet took was a fake potion given to her by Friar Laurence. It was meant to mimic death for 42 hours to help her escape her arranged marriage to Paris.
