You cannot annea a bead without a kiln... period. Some may say "flame annealing", but it really doesn't exist. it's kind of like big foot. Plenty of people claim to have seen it... but it's not real. You will need a kiln before you can call your beads annealed.
Until then, you can play play play. Use vermiculite or a fiber blanket as mentioned, to keep some of the beads from cracking right away. Maybe they'll live long enough for you to kiln anneal them later. Best of luck and welcome to the madness.
