From what I recall of that timeframe and the chronology, Moiraine went back to visit Adeleas and Vandene to research the Forsaken and esoteric lore. Eventually, share pieced together a method for creating balefire from this research.

She did research and apparently pieced it together, like Verin did with Compulsion.

Which, as I said, means that she learned it during "The Great Hunt".
