How long are you soaking them? You don't want to soak them too long.
it took maybe an hour, hour and a half to reach room temperature.
Hmmmm... It's not working for me. Some of them have been steeping for a week, but I still have that perfume taste... Errrr - just have to keep telling myself that patience is a virtue (although I think I have plenty of virtue already!!!).
I do my method as soon as I get them. They steep over time without doing anything. My method just speeds it up some (theoretically).
lol i think with the new batch i will be getting at the end of the week will make new friends with my shed for a day not as hot as a car or truck but still hot as the fl heatperhaps an odd idea, but along the heat lines, I live in florida, and it gets quite hot here, especially in my truck. could making some juices and placing them in the truck (not in direct sunlight) while its hot help steeping?
perhaps I should make 2 samples of the same flavor and leave one in the house and put one in the truck... I feel a science experiment coming.... lol
