Hmm...I had originally considered using cheese cloth as a strainer, but I
was concerned that too much of the active ingredients (alkaloids) would get
"stuck" to the cloth...which is why I got the expensive fine-screen
strainer. However, this is a bit different. If I wrap the powdered leaves
in the cloth, I could then individually squeeze each bag with my herb
press - which should be easier and less messy.

So, that's a good idea, I'll give it a try and see how it goes. (But keep
the ideas coming if anyone has any other suggestions!)

Thanks,

Mike
