sieve to remove any lumps/sediment/residue
I don't think "impurezas" is the ideal term of choice in Spanish. The objective of the sieving in this case is to remove lumps/sediment, but "impurities" sounds a bit strange.

: This might be fine too, depending on the context. I would remove impurities or residue from soaked dried wild mushrooms or lentils, for example, but would remove lumps from flour etc. Have a good weekend. :)

: I prefer "remove" to "eliminate" to be honest, but it's a purely personal choice - either would be fine.

to remove any lumps (that may have formed)
with or without the contents of the brackets
Sounds a bit like some sort of creme brulee or ice-cream recipe. If the cream mixture is hot when added to the yolks, it could easily curdle a little (like scrambled eggs). If it's only minimal, the situation can be salvaged by passing through a strainer. I don't always bother to do this, but my daughter always does as a matter of course!
