Ingredients
Sweet Tea Brine

- 4 ½ cups Sweet Tea homemade or store-bought
- 1 ¼ cups barbecue sauce
- ¼ cup hot sauce
- ¼ cup kosher salt
- 2 lemons halved and juiced
- ice
BBQ Brisket
- brisket , patted dry after brining
- ¼ cup BBQ dry rub
- ½ cup barbecue sauce
- ¼ cup reserved brine
Instructions
Brine the Brisket
- Place the brisket in an extra large plastic bag.
- Measure in the sweet tea, barbecue sauce, hot sauce, salt and lemons.
- Add handfuls of ice to the bag until the brisket has been completely immersed in the brining liquid.
- Place the plastic bag on a baking sheet or a large baking dish with high sides, and refrigerate.
- Brine for 24-48 hours.
Cook the Brisket
- Remove the brisket from the brine.
- Reserve some of the brine for cooking, and dispose of the rest.
- Pat the brisket dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
- On a clean cutting board, coat the brisket in the BBQ dry rub on all sides.
- In the Instant Pot, measure out the barbecue sauce and brine, and whisk together in the base.
- Place the brisket on top of the liquids so the fat side is on top.
- Cook on High Pressure (Normal) for 1 hours and 25 minutes.
- When the cooking has finished, manually depressurize the Instant Pot.
- When depressurized, remove the brisket from the Instant Pot with tongs.
- Place the brisket on a cutting board and slice thin using a sharp knife.
- Brush with additional cooking liquid before serving, and enjoy immediately!
Notes
- Brine recipe adapted from Sweet Tea Oven Fried Chicken.
- What if my brisket is a different size than yours? It should take around 24 minutes per pound for the brisket to cook (and get all nice and tender) in the Instant Pot.
