thx mesc and coin!
i tried it by just steeping it in water for 30 mins and i was wondering about redoing it like you said coin,your recipe sounds nice ill give that a try,ps:get some bungers for your neighbours ,i had that trouble with that crappy "doof doof" techno shit from my neighbours like they think i wanna hear it or something any way they soon got the message when i let of a few arial bombs and 4 inch bungers whenever they played it.ofcourse if they are having a one off party or something you have to tolerate it but these arseholes were playing car stereos in their front yard every day at any hour.
