Instructions:

  1. Measure the brown sugar, kosher salt, and coarse ground black pepper into a medium mixing bowl.

  3. Use a whisk or fork to aggressively mix all ingredients together until the colour is uniform and there are no clumps of spice or sugar remaining. This ensures an even distribution of flavour.
