Using either "add" or "pour" is acceptable. "Pour" is more specific (which you should consider if you are giving directions to someone), but I think most native speakers would use "add". If you begin the sentence with "add" it would sound best if you use "to" instead of "in" or "into", though neither is incorrect.
