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."
Ella watched the demonstration of the next steps carefully, noting them in her notebook. She then picked up the spoon she had already cleaned during the previous step and started to fill it with toothpaste. She smiled while doing this, thinking of her grandmother and how crazy people told her she was when she suggested toothpaste for blemishes. Not so crazy afterall... While waiting for all the toothpaste to come off the spoon as she stirred it, Ella raised her hand. "Professor, why is it so important to use metal tools? Is it because they are easier to keep clean?" While waiting for an answer, Ella saw that the toothpaste was now gone so she picked the spoon up and cleaned it again. Now it was time for the honey. She watched as the honey poured on to the spoon. Then she added the correct measurements into the cauldron, watching as the honey dripped slowly...very s l o w l y...off the spoon. Luckily, there was not much splashing going on, which was what the Professor wanted. When she was done with the honey she picked up the spoon and once again cleaned it, setting it back down on the table.
