So she could do either.
Quite frankly Esme didn't WANT to start over, but if it meant that she would have better results... Well, that just made the most sense, didn't it?
"Thank you, Professor. You're the best." Because he was always so kind and helpful and never got mad when people made mistakes. She had really liked Professor Culloden, but sometimes he had been scary because he got angry with people. Fortunately he never had with HER because she had never made huge blunders. Even this wasn't a terrible mistake she reasoned. She would just be more careful the next time.
After disposing of the contents of her cauldron (what a waste), Esme set about preparing all the ingredients again. Her equipment was Scourgified and wine and prune juice measured out. After the fungus and tortoise shell had been prepared with the mortar and pestle they were set aside in bowls. Lastly the caterpillar was sliced and the bat tongue diced. It was time for her to start adding things to the cauldron.
The red wine and prune juice were carefully added and Esme stirred with her wooden stirrer in a clockwise direction until she saw the bubbles begin to form. The potion was a dark purple/brown colour so she knew that she was doing things correctly so far. Smiling to herself she immediately dumped in the hairy fungus and continued stirring. This time she would be VERY careful about checking the clock because it was at this part that she had messed up and the rest of the steps would be just as precise. No wonder this was advanced! She didn't know how potioneers could do this kind of thing without feeling stressed out. At least they always appeared to be calm and collected.
Esme watched as the colour began to slowly lighten, glancing every so often at the time. As soon as she hit the ten minute mark, the tortoise shell was added and she continued stirring. It was a creamy colour now so she was doing things correct still. Good. More stirring for another eight minutes and she quickly removed the cauldron from the burner and added the caterpillar and bat tongues. She continuously stirred for another five minutes and saw it become a creamy green colour.
Once the potion had cooled to the point where it was emerald green, she scooped some into a clean vial that had her name labeled on it:

SPOILER!!: Esme's Notes AGING POTION
Ingredients
100ml Red Wine
10ml Prune Juice
2g Hairy fungus, mashed
2g Tortoise Shell, powdered
5g Caterpillar, sliced
1 Bat Tongue, diced
Instructions
Prepare all ingredients as listed in the ingredients list, weighing and measuring each carefully.
Slowly heat the red wine and prune juice and begin stirring clockwise until you can just see bubbles starting to form. (The mixture will be dark purple/brown)
Immediately add the Hairy Fungus and continue to stir clockwise for ten minutes. (The mixture will slowly fade to a lighter purple/brown)
Continuing to stir clockwise, add the tortoise shell. (The mixture will be a creamy color)
After eight minutes, remove the cauldron from the heat and add the caterpillar and bat tongue, making sure to continue to stir the solution in a clockwise motion for five minutes, until it changes to a creamy green colour.
As the potion cools, it will turn emerald green. Once it is completely cooled (about fifteen to twenty minutes), you may cease dispense the potion into appropriate vials for storage.
