How to make your own brine step by step
STEP 1: In a large pot, bring about 4 liters of water to a boil, then add the salt, sugar and beer, if using. Add most of the dill, reserving a few crowns (flowers) for serving, and simmer for about 10 minutes.
STEP 2: Let the brine cool down, ideally by placing it in a tub or bath with ice cold water.
STEP 3: Take your cooked crayfish and put them in the brine. Soak them in the sauce for several hours, ideally overnight.
STEP 4: To serve, drain the crayfish (about 2 kg), place them in a serving plate and decorate with the remaining dill crowns. If you have leftovers, try making this delicious salad.
