"Alright, so by now your water should be beginning to boil, if not then give it a few more moments or repeat the chaudensis charm... otherwise, here are your next instructions."
This time, with the aid of the blackboard, Seren discussed the steps to producing the minsecticide.
"The first thing you need to note, is that this is not potions. You are not required to measure your ingredients meticulously, because at the end of the day, all of the substances are good and wasting time measuring just isn't worth it." Especially not when this was something which needed to be repeated every so often.
"Essentially, what you will be making, is a solution containing a number of ingredients which repel pests both magical and mundane..."
The instructions finished writing themselves up on the board in cursive writing.

3) As the colour darkens, take a handful of fluxweed and knotgrass, then stir.
4) Take a whole garlic bulb, slice it in half (diffindo) then drop it into the solution.
5) Add 3-4 whole dreid lacewing flies and a small (yes, thick) drizzle/plop of bubotuber pus.
6) Simmer, stir and leave to cool for about half an hour (in which time you clean up your work space and return any unused items to the stores cupboard.)
7) Once your Minsecticide has cooled, strain it into a spray bottle.
"It's quite straight forward. Everything goes into the pot and then once it cools we'll strain it and use it."
And so... they should start now.
