- •16 cups water
- •0.75 cup kosher salt
- •0.66666668653488 cup white sugar
- •0.25 cup dried sage, or to taste
- •0.25 cup dried basil, or to taste
- •2 heads garlic, crushed and chopped
- •1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
- •1 large bay leaf
Instructions
- Bring water, kosher salt, sugar, sage, basil, garlic, peppercorns, and bay leaf to a simmer in a large pot over medium-high heat; this could take upwards of 20 minutes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until salt and sugar are dissolved completely, about 20 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and cover with a lid. Let brine sit at room temperature for 2 hours; this lets the dried herbs steep and really enhances the flavor of the brine. Refrigerate to finish cooling before using, at least 1 hour.
