I just germinate them like most other herb/vegetable seeds . . . plant them about 3/4"- 1" deep (keeps helmet head away) directly in a good seed starting media (I use Burpee's Organic Seed Starter), keep them warm and moist. I do put them on a heat mat under a dome . . . but if no dome I just lay a doubled piece of paper towel on top of the media and keep that damp until I see a little bump under it.
I gave up on pre-soaking, paper towels and all the extra steps when using what should be fresh seeds. I figure good healthy seeds will grow . . . if they need more than moist dirt to start it's likely weak and I don't want to put the time and effort into growing it out.
