Crushing hazardous drugs

It has been a few years since anyone has asked the question, so I'll give it a try! How do you dispense HDs that require crushing for administration via an NG tube? Let's assume it is a chemo, and there is no recipe for making an oral liquid. If pharmacy crushes the med and mixes it with water, how much water do you add and what BUD do you give the syringe?
