After the fibers are cooked, the pulp is strained to separate the pulp. The pulp is then rinsed two or three times with clean cold water. I use a large piece of window screen fabric as a sieve to separate the solid pulp from the water. After the rinse, the pulp is squeezed by twisting the fabric. Think of cheese cloth when cheese or yogurt are made. Now the pulp is ready for pounding.
