I want to make a aqueous extract of using raw green leaves. Normal procedure is using dried powder. So, is it possible? If possible, what will be the procedure?

Choose fresh green leaves from the plant, making sure they are clean and free from pesticides or other contaminants. Rinse the leaves under running water to remove any dirt or debris. chop the leaves into small pieces. This will increase the surface area and help release the plant’s active compounds into the water. Place the chopped leaves in a pot t and pour hot water over them. Cover the pot and let the leaves steep for 10-15 minutes. After steeping, strain the liquid through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove the plant material. Pour the extract into a clean glass jar or bottle and store it in the refrigerator.
Yes, it is possible to use fresh green leaves of a plant to prepare an aqueous extract instead of drying and powdering them.

Yes, it is possible. if you need this extract as a liquid solution, you can be using the soaking or shaking in hot water.
Note that this method is not suitable if the compounds to be extracted are affected by temperature
