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).
Remove tri-tip from marinade, and lightly season with Prime Rib Rub. Start your Traeger on smoke with lid open for 5 minutes to get started, and then place tri-tip on grill for 4 to 5 hours on smoke. Remove tri-tip from grill and place in aluminum foil with 1/2 cup water.Close aluminum foil and adjust digital controller to 350 degrees. Place back on the grill for 45 minutes.. In a small bowl, combine the mustard, 1/4 cup of apple juice (reserve the rest), and the Worcestershire sauce. Spread thinly on both sides of the ribs; season with rub. 3. When ready to cook, start the Traeger grill on Smoke with the lid open until the fire is established (4 to 5 minutes).
