Pick an unused address from your Receive addresses on your watch-only wallet and just send it to it.  If you don't trust it - send a dime... experimentation is the only way to safely feel comfortable with this stuff.

Agreed. This is how it's done. Send a small fraction of a coin over. Later, after the transaction has confirmed, try to send it back to your hot wallet from the offline wallet. Do this in increasing amounts and you'll get the hang of it.

Here's how you spend from an offline wallet: https://electrum.org/tutorials.html#offline-mpk
