    3. Drain bean, toss water IF you want "less music" later, otherwise save water. ( in theory reusing the water adds flavor, in practice it adds gaseous emissions!) Add enough water to make 1 quart. (I used 1 quart fresh water to reduce toxins) Bring water to boil,(still using the pot on stove top) & add beans, simmer for 1/2 hour.
