How do you wash your cheese cloth without it ruining?

When I first went raw, I tried making nut milks with cheesecloth. After the first time, I was totally ready to give up! Squeezing even slightly too hard makes the cheesecloth "rupture", and you get nut residue in your milk. Even when the cheesecloth doesn't break, you're usually left with a huge mess!

Then I lucked upon some inexpensive nylon sprout bags at a store here in town. They are super strong, and cleanup is a breeze.

Alissa has some similar bags on her website here (http://www.alissacohen.com/shop/product.php?productid=13&cat=9&page=1).

I would recommend that you pick up a couple. They are definitely worth the investment!

I bought some cloth (org. cotton) produce bags for shopping and the small ones work great!:)

I think I'm going to go fabric shopping and sew my own nutmilk bags. It just seems like a bit pricey for $10 apiece. Hopefully I can find some nylon blend mesh/tulle at the craft store :)
