I don't think freezing the water will improve the situation. Salvinorin is slightly soluble in water... From 10g leaf you may have around 20-30mg of salvinorin. That amount would be fully soluble in around 1 L water. So depending on how much water was added, the temperature and whether it has been stirred or not, you have some of the salvinorin in solution and the rest in suspension.
Allowing the water to evaporate in a dark place sounds like a slow option. If some of the salvinorin is actually in suspension, you can filter with a coffee filter to recover some of it, and then evap the rest in a dark, ventilated place to recover the dissolved salvinorin.
Or if you were aiming for an extract, you can soak there the leaf right away... but it will take ages to evap the water.
Anyone has other ideas?
