Do you ever save the drained milk? I imagine that it would be salty, but if you make it with lemon juice ... my braid keeps saying this should be very much like butter milk since it is essentially the same thing.

The liquid that drains out of the mold is pretty much just water. It may be a bit cloudy if the tofu didn't coagulate perfectly but I don't believe it to be of any use.
