                  Bring the beans and water to a boil for 2-3 minutes.

                  Remove from heat, cover, and let the beans sit for 1-2 hours.

• Cooking the Beans:

                   Drain the soaked beans and place them in a pot with fresh water (about 3 cups of water for every 1 cup of beans).

                   Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the beans are soft and tender.                          Alternatively, you can use a pressure cooker to reduce cooking time.

• Seasoning: While cooking, you can add seasonings such as garlic, onions, cumin, paprika, or bay leaves to enhance the flavor.
