Useful filtering technique for powdered MHRB tea

[610nanometres]

As anyone whose tried filtering liquid with fine MHRB will testify, it's incredibly proficient at blocking the paper and reducing the flow to nothing.
My last extraction I made the tea in a pan, and after cooking left it to settle overnight. In the morning, I carefully made an indentation in the settled sediment and then put a coffee paper into the hole and let the tea fill it up, removing it with a ladle. Takes a little time, but works a charm and is infinitely faster than trying to gravity filter.

Use chesse cloth or an old cotton t-shirt

I find cheese cloth lets through too much sediment, but then I am a bit fastidious. I also leave the teas to settle for a couple of days after, then decant and most of the very fine stuff that still gets left on the bottom. I've never had an issue with emulsions doing this.

I usually work in increments. And always settle/decant after every step. Something like this:

Decant
Cheese cloth
Decant
Coarse filter
Decant
Fine filter

In the end, it looks like a wine that's pretty easy to work with, and the end product is crystal clear.
