When making a syrian rue brew, I assume that there comes a point where reducing it further will cause it to start losing potency.

I recently made a brew using 3g syrian rue. I did 3 boils at one hour each and reduced it to about 3oz. This is the way I usually make a rue brew.

I froze this brew and plan on using it in the near future, but I wonder if I might have reduced it too much. Could I have degraded the potency of the brew by reducing it so much? And if not, what amount of reduction will make a brew start to degrade?

Good quality Syrian rue (Peganum harmala) for an incredible price!

you can evap it down to a resin as long as you don't burn/scald it

I guess that's true. What if the reduction takes place at a rolling boil the entire time? And you take the brew off the stove while it's at a rolling boil and it has been reduced to 3oz?

Should I expect the brew to have lost any potency?

I don't think the rue tea will lose potency due to reducing, harmalas salts are pretty stable, you are evaping the water not the goodies
INHALE, SURVIVE, ADAPT

it's all in your mind, but what's your mind???
