To make the Spiced Rum Citrus Brine, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup spiced rum

- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon black peppercorns
- 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
- 1 tablespoon mustard seeds
- 1 bay leaf
To prepare the brine, combine all of the ingredients in a large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the salt and sugar have dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
Once the brine has cooled, place your protein of choice in a large resealable bag or container and pour the brine over it. Make sure the protein is completely submerged in the brine and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
When ready to cook, remove the protein from the brine and discard the brine. Pat the protein dry with paper towels and cook as desired.

The spiced rum adds a warm and spicy note, while the citrus juices provide a bright and tangy flavor. The black peppercorns, coriander seeds, and mustard seeds add a subtle depth of flavor, while the bay leaf adds a subtle herbal note.
