Please choose the correct ending to complete the given sentence: Food and Entertaining: [header] How to brine meat [title] Prepare a mixture of three parts salt and one part sugar. [step] The salt may be kosher or sea salt. The sugar can be any white crystal sugar, but not 10x or confectioner's sugar.

Ending1: [title] Dissolve the sugar/salt mixture in water. [step] The salt to water ratio should be 1:16-for every gallon of water you should have a cup of salt (50-60 grams of salt per litre water). Ending2: White crystal sugar may not count as the ingredient listed here, but can make for an excellent brine. [title] Open a 5/16 inch pot of cold water. Ending3: It is used to directly impact the flavor of soup, so read the label to find out what the main ingredient is. If it says kosher, then with the aid of a full package of kosher salt and sodium, then you'll not even need to go into the brine. Ending4: Boil the water in an electric saucepan or large stockpot and move it to a small saucepan. The sugar from the water will dissolve and become smooth.
