Slow Smoked Cumin Ribs

Step 2 Optional step: Citrus Tea brine

Normally, I love my ribs with a rub, slow smoke, and sticky sauce - straight up. But if you are up for an adventure and have a bit more time, you can brine the ribs overnight for a bit more flavor. Here's a tangy citrus/tea brine that I used:

1 quart Black Tea, brewed
1 quart Orange Juice
1 cup Lime Juice
1 cup Lemon Juice
1 cup Kosher Salt
1 cup Raw Sugar

Heat it on the stove to dissolve the solids. Cool it down to at least room temp, dunk your ribs in the pot, and leave them in the fridge overnight.
