Putting it in a jar is like putting it in a pot. As long as the temperature is not too high, it would cook it down into a thick mash. So maybe they are talking about simmering it?
Embers can be pretty hot, but they are not as hot as an open fire. Usually some rocks are put in with embers and the jar placed on the rock. That helps modulate the cooking temperature.
I'm just guessing as to what they meant, but it sounds like cooking it down to remove moisture would not only cook out the bacteria, but would make it easier to powder it.
