i looked but i cant find any info about, like after extracting, do i have to freeze it? i know it makes it fasted but is there a way i dont have to freeze, can i skip that step and it just takes longer? lemme know k
 
im not an expert, but i think you could evaporate it at that stage, but youd probably come out with some dirty stuff. i think the first freeze phase acts almost like a recrystallization. it helps separate what you want and what you dont want. so IMO its best to freeze it. but remember, im no expert.
 
you can just evaporate the stuff...but you will end up with a sorta gooeyness.because solvents pick up oils too..and they will be deposited alongside your spice
 
do best of both worlds. evap first down to an almost tar/goo. Sometimes it will evap all the way and u will have usable yellow crystals, sometimes not. But swim found if u dont evap swims freezer isn't cold enough to pull all of the spice out of a large cup of naptha. So although you will get whiter crystals, a lot of product will stay in solvent.

Then put that goo/crystals into a glass jar, add just enough nap to remelt it all, put the glass jar in another pot of hot water. once remelted, you should have a yellowish liquid. Then simply throw that into freezer.

It might still have a bit of a yellow tint, but in my eyes this is pure enough.
