I've never done an extraction (other than tea) but my impression is that the teks are meant to be followed very closely and you cant just swap out different solvents or other components. But hopefully someone with familiarity with that tek can chime in and answer your question.
Tea (water extraction) is quite easy though, and a good option to consider. It is always possible to reduce the tea down to resin if you want to avoid drinking the liquid.
Best luck with whatever you choose to do!
