How do you give a player a Splash Potion of Healing II in 1.9.4?

Like the title says, I need to be able to give a player a Splash Potion of Healing II. This is because the player needs to be able to throw the potion at themselves or at undead mobs for my map. Originally, I was using /give @p potion 1 16421 {display:{Name:"Grenade"}} when I was playing in 1.8.9, but now it does not work. It gives me a Water Bottle named "Grenade" and also has the weird pink/black block texture. What would the command be for 1.9.4?

As of 1.9, potions no longer use the Damage value to determine type of potion and whether or not it's a splash potion. Instead, the ID has been split into minecraft:potion and minecraft:splash_potion (along with minecraft:lingering_potion introduced in 1.9), while the effect itself is stored in the Potion string tag:

/give @p minecraft:splash_potion 1 0 {Potion:"minecraft:strong_healing",display:{Name:"Grenade"}}

You can find a list of default brew IDs here.

You can use MCStacker to generate commands:

/give PlayerNameHere minecraft:splash_potion 1 0 {display:{Name:"Grenade"},Potion:"minecraft:strong_healing"}

I made that one for you. You can use that site for a lot of other commands as well.

I've never been good at commands and I won't ever practice the commands in the game, you could always give it to yourself and give it to them manually with Q. Or you know, you could go to this link right here:
