I would put them in a bucket with filtered water and little molasses, then place an aquarium air pump on the bucket to aerate it. A little water pump from something like a desktop fountain would work just as well. Bubble it about two days at room temp. You can filter it through a "paint strainer," which is a mesh bag they sell in the paint section of hardware stores, often with the spray gun stuff. They look like bridal veils or mosquito nets.

Whatever bacterial spores you have should grow and multiply, feeding off the molasses. If you had a tiny bit of worm castings or compost to add, your end product would be an aerated compost tea.
