Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
4 cloves garlic, smashed
1 medium yellow onion, quartered
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 bay leaves
1 tbsp whole black peppercorns
1 lemon, halved
4 cups ice cubes

Instructions

1
Combine 4 cups of the water, the kosher salt, and sugar in a large stockpot over medium heat, stirring until the salt and sugar are fully dissolved, about 3–4 minutes. Remove from heat.
2
Add the garlic, onion, thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, peppercorns, and lemon halves to the hot brine. Let the mixture steep for 5 minutes, until fragrant.
