Hmmmm, I haven't tried a warm water soak. Maybe I'll give it a go tonight.
I read that in another thread. It speeds up the steeping process. Put your bottle in a ziplok bag with all the air squeezed out. Then put that inside another ziplok with all the air removed. This keeps it from floating to the top. Then let it soak in a bowl really warm water. Preferably something with a sealed lid so you can flip it around. Another option I do if doing a single bottle is to fill an empty small juice bottle up with hot water and drop the ziplok bags down inside. Keeps the liquid fully surrounded by the warm water. I usually let it go until the water is room temp. No real time limit. maybe an hour or so. If it something I will let steep longer I do that afterwards. Other than that I crack it right open. I have never tried to let Tribeca steep for a week or more so I am almost curious how it would be after a fw weeks. If it wasn't so expensive I would buy two bottles and let one steep for a few weeks.
