Can I make spore syringes like this?

Instead of pouring sterilized water into a glass jar/beaker can I just boil a small pot of water and then once it has boiled for 15 minutes turn the heat off and cover the entire top of the pot with tin foil?
And once it's cooled down just remove the tin foil and scrape my spores into the pot and then suck the water into my syringes?
Will this work?

Putting foil over the pot isn't going to keep the water sterile as it cools.

Probably not.
Depending on the size of the pot, you would have a lower spore:water ratio in the mixture.
Also, heat may not always kill all of the bacteria that might be in your water or the pot.
If you have a pressure cooker, maybe putting a jar of water in there would be better, if sterilized water isn't an option.

Pressure cookers use heat to sterilize.....

Is there a way I can make a Sterile Spore Syringe without using a pressure cooker?
