She showed the students how to do it, letting the hot liquid melt off all the honey from the spoon. "Take 5 basil leaves and slice them thin, as thin as you can, with your silver knife." And she did what she said to the letter. "Now what you want to do is take a papaya, whole and with the same silver knife, stab the fruit and stuff some of the basil in the wound. Keep stabbing until you make enough holes for all of the basil. Then add it to the mixure. Whole."
1 whole Papaya
Minerva watched as Professor Lafay did the next steps. Then she cleaned her wooden spoon before adding the three spoonfulls of raw honey. 1 spoonful she thought in her head, two spoonfuls, three spoonfuls. Next she made sure her sliver knife was clean and sliced the basil leaves thin. Minerva then took the papaya and poked a few holes in it stuffing the basil leaves as she went. She need a few more holes so she stabbed at it again. Once she was done putting the basil leaves in the papaya she put it in the mixture.
