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
Amethyst pulled the spoon out of the cauldron and pointed her wand at it. "Scourgify." The spoon was clean. She took up the honey and began to pour.
1 spoonful of raw honey; 2 spoonfuls of raw honey; 3 spoonfuls of raw honey.
When she was done with that, she took the 5 basil leaves and took up her silver knife. She sliced them thin enough to fit through the papaya. After cleaning the knife, she stabbed the papaya until there was enough holes for all of the leaves. She gently placed the leaves in the holes. After doing so, she added the basil leaved papaya in the mixture.
