Hello,
Place the beans in a bowl or saucepan and cover them with plenty of cold water and leave them to soak overnight.
If that is not possible you can place the beans in a pan, cover with plenty of cold water, bring them up to the boil, boil for 10 minutes and leave them to soak for 2 hours.
Kind regards
Lindsey
