This is one reason that bottled tea that you buy at a store is not as healthy as freshly brewed iced tea. http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2010/08/... I keep my sweet iced tea in the refrigerator enclosed in a lidded container for at least the third day. It still has its taste and smell! Try it! Another tip that I just recently discovered is to make ice cubes with the tea instead of water.
Dissolve salt, and sugar in water add ice, then let it cool. Place the brisket in the brine and cover, leave it brine in the refrigerator overnight. When ready to cook, remove the brisket from the brine and pat it dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle evenly with Traeger Beef Rub. Start the Traeger grill on smoke with the lid open until the fire is established (4 to 5 minutes).
Midnight Brisket~Because there's no babysitting with a Traeger, you can throw this on at midnight, and let the grill do the work while you dream about how good it is going to taste, Midnight Brisket: I varied it (Bad Byron's Butt Rub during smoke and then used Bottled Au Juice in the foil for the last couple of hours).
