When it comes to a brine, I believe that you can add anything you want. I brined my turkey last year and I actually pulled off Thanksgiving dinner.... it was my first attempt as well, so I was impressed. —MoodyCook

This brine is fun because it is easy. I don't think a lot of people understand the importance of the brine.
