Instructions
Combine water, salt, and aromatics (garlic, herbs, etc.) in a medium saucepan over high heat. Bring it to a boil. Cover and remove from heat then let it cool down completely (If in a hurry, place ice into a large bowl and pour brine over ice).
Place meat in a big enough plastic bag or bowl and pour cooled down brine over it. Seal and let it sit at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours, or refrigerate for 4 to 24 hours.
Notes
Use in any recipe, but make sure the meat gets only lightly salted or none at all once it is brined.
