Once her cauldron reached a boil, Katy was ready. Her stargrass was chopped into nice and even (and tiny) pieces, and she scrapped them into the cauldron using her silver dagger. One scoop, two scoops, three scoops, and all the stargrass was done. The boom berry juice was pre-measured, and Katy poured that in next. Was it supposed to be a specific color yet? Consistency? Or was it too early for that?
Right. The stirring stick went in next, and Katy had to stir counter-clockwise with a careful eye on the clock. Three minutes with a five second pause? That was so specific... Katy preferred a stir count to a time count, since some people stirred faster than others. Some stirred TOO fast, although she'd personally worked hard to even out her stirring for consistency. At three minutes, Katy lifted the stick for five full beats, and then the stick went back into the cauldron. Again, she stirred counter-clockwise, her strokes even and steady.
The glass stick went next to the silver dagger, ready for a wash when she was done. Essence of Dittany was next, and Katy added it to her cauldron one drop at a time. Careful, even drops, since it mattered that there wasn't any spillage. No drop and a halfs. Twenty three drops later, and Katy was looking at the clock again.
