Ingredients

2 cups brewed sweet tea
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon salt
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
4 to 6 pork chops

Instructions

Combine the ingredients for the brine in a medium bowl and stir until the salt has dissolved. Place the pork chops in a thick zip-top bag or in a non reactive (plastic or glass) container with a lid and pour in the brine. Place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight.
Preheat the grill, remove the pork chops, and discard the brine. Allow the pork chops to come to near room temperature then grill over medium heat until the meat reaches 145° when tested with a meat thermometer. Allow the meat to rest for at least 5 minute before serving.
