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).
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 to 2 hours. When ready to cook, start the Traeger grill on Smoke with the lid open until the fire is established (4 to 5 minutes). Remove the chicken from the refrigerator, letting any excess oil drip back into the bowl. Arrange the chicken on the grill grate and smoke for 1 hour. Increase the temperature to 350F and continue to roast the chicken until the internal temperature in the thickest part of a thigh is 165F, or the chicken is golden brown and the juices run clear (about 50 to 60 minutes).
