Instructions:
Add the beans and water to your instant pot using a 1:3 bean to water ratio.
Seal the lid and close the valve.
Choose the high-pressure cook option and set the timer for 20-25 minutes.
Once the time is up, allow the pressure to naturally release.
Drain the beans, and use as desired.
If you want to keep them for a few days, then transfer to a clean jar together with enough water to cover the beans, and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
