Guest guest Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 I have not tried it but I may have thought of an easier way to filter the soup. I bought an old 32oz pyrex french press coffee maker. I have cut coffee filters the size of the filter in the french press and added several layers of the coffee filiter paper to the french press filter. A test with cofee and some ground up plant material with added water has worked very well but I have not yet treid it with soup. My plan was to have already tried it with soup but it will probably be several weeks before I actually try. But it does look promising. If you have a french press you may want to look into it. - Steve oleander soup oleander soup On Behalf Of ransleySent: Monday, July 27, 2009 3:11 PMoleander soup Subject: Re: Boil down >the settlement is in the form of some creamy clear/whitish (at leastcompared to the brown) stuff that sinks, correct?<No, mine was very dark brown.
