Directions:
Stir all ingredients except the ice, over a low heat, until the salt and sugar are dissolved.

Stir into the warm liquid the ice and let the brine cool to 45º or lower.

Put about 4 pork chops, or any other equivalently sized meat into a zipped-lock bag and pour the brine in over the meat.

Put the bag in a bowl and place in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours, depending on the thickness of the meat.
Remove the meant, discard the brine, and pat the meat dry.

Grill the meat, or it will keep it in a plastic wrap and refrigerated until you are ready to cook it. It will keep for two days.

Personal Notes:
Lots of times I add more bourbon to this recipe, and many times I add more meat. If I add additional cuts of meat I will double, triple, or more this recipe.
I put any type of meat in this brine, deer, antelope, wild hog, turkey, pheasant, quail, dove, elk ... it's all really good, and easy.
