2 of the 4 steps never say how long they take, so both numbers are floors. Nothing here says whether you can walk away, so all 40 min of it is counted as time you are standing over it. The recipe itself says 2 hr.

Drawn to scale, so a long wait really does take up the room it takes. The shortest stretches keep a sliver so they stay visible; their times are printed beside them. The minutes are always the recipe’s own; a dashed edge means we worked out from the step whether you have to be there, and a dotted one means nothing was said, so we assumed you are standing over it.
