Highly Concentrated Tea

So I was a little over zealous and started a project that yielded more cubes than I can handle haha -a good problem to have for sure. I've got my dehydrator running 24/7 but still the cubes are piling up in my fridge. I'm wondering if I could just make a giant batch of tea using the pressure cooker as a big pot. Then, after straining the mush from the tea, I could return the liquid to a pot and keep it uncovered on a low simmer until most of the water has evaporated, leaving behind a highly concentrated tea. Basically like how you make stock/bullion
I've read enough TCs and other experienced users talk about how heat doesn't degrade the psychoactives despite the stigma it still seems to have so I think it's worth a shot. I don't mind if I lose some potency, I just want a way to concentrate some of this inventory before it winds up in the trash. I've got 5 bags weighing about 30 wet ounces each, so the tea would have the potency of about 1 dry pound 😂
Thoughts?

I actually never thought about pressure cooking it first then letting it reduce. Sounds legit.
Thats a shit ton of shrooms..

Imagine concentrating that solution to the volume of shot glass. 1 pound's worth of dried cubes in one shot. It'd make for quite the prank

To be clear, I'm not pressure cooking the tea. My PC just happens to be the largest pot I own.
Sounds legit though right? I really don't want to buy another dehydrator so this seems like the next best solution.
Any nay-sayers?

Dude, yes I’m. A naysayer! Here’s why:-
PrimalSoup’s Tea Method.
I do a slightly modified method, because I like to freeze into individual ice cubes, so I can dose exactly.
And you ideally want to be making the tea from fresh mushrooms, not dried. By drying, you are destroying approximately 50% of the psilocin; take this away and dry trips definitely lack something over fresh trips.
And you can use the water already present in the mushrooms so they boil in their own liquid!
So you have almost 1kg of dried mushrooms you want to convert. You would at most need 1 litre of water for the boil. So you don’t need a huge pan, bro.
Only thing to be careful of when reducing the volume of liquid down: do not allow the pan to boil dry, or you can throw the entire batch on the bin!
Good luck DJ Ed

Stigmas. 
We don't need no stinkin' stigmas. And I am a TC though the tag doesn't turn on in this forum. 
If you use this method you can pack away lbs of fresh fruits made into tea in a very small space in your freezer. I get it down to half the fresh weight. No evaporation, no long processing, no BS. And potent as fuck.
I went to make tea reduction one time on an open burner. Forgot about it and it burned. Worst smell ever.
