60 minutes with the excess citric and shaking for quick xtalization is definitely possible. I did it live a couple months ago in the nexus chat, uploading pictures during the process. Since EA evaps fast (folded the filter with the xtals and shook it in the air for super fast evap), had dry white xtals ready to go consume in less time that it takes to make a simple tea

I wonder if less water initially would make the TEK more robust. Idea would be to start with cactus/lime add water with stirring until you get a fluffy paste. Forcing a fixed amount of water may not be ideal for every starting plant powder. Seems like it could be too wet for HLP, for example.

HLP, if you see better results with less water in the paste you may have found a robustness knob I was not aware of.
