You will want to add the toothpaste, stirring it in gently." She said and she stirred it in. "There is no number of times to stir of direction, just stir until it's off the spoon. Then you will want to add the honey."

She went to retrieve the honey and used a clean metal spoon to measure it out. "Be patient with this. You will want it to drip slowly in the cauldron. So just take your time. Do one tablespoon at a time, and just hold it a good six to eight inches from it. And be careful it doesn't splash."
Following Professor Lafay's lead, Elise squeezed the toothpaste into her metal spoon as she took mental notes. Metal. All metal, got it. Lowering the spoon into the cauldron, she stirred gently. Since there was no particular direction for her to stir, she went in the way that felt the most natural. Stirring counter-clockwise with her left hand.

Pulling the spoon out of the liquid, she checked the spoon to make sure that all the toothpaste was off. Done. Now, the honey. Taking a clean spoon from her newly scourgified kit, Elise scooped out a tablespoon full of the honey and dripped it carefully into the cauldron.

Drip...
Drip...
Drip...
Once all the three tablespoons of honey were in the cauldron, Elise pulled her wand out and began cleaning her instruments. She wouldn't have enough metal spoons if they kept going at this rate.
