In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.

Boil the Water

Once the water is boiling, add 1 cup of sugar. Stir continuously until the sugar completely dissolves.

Dissolve the Sugar

Stir in 1 teaspoon of citric acid into the mixture while still boiling. This adds a tangy flavor to your drink.

Add Citric Acid

Once the citric acid is added, remove the pot from the heat and let it cool for about 15 minutes.

Remove from Heat

Once the mixture has cooled, add 1 cup of fresh lemon juice to the pot. Stir well to combine.

Add Fresh Lemon Juice

Add 1 cup of fresh mint leaves to the mixture. Allow it to steep for 30 minutes for flavor infusion.

Infuse with Mint

Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the mixture into another container to remove the mint leaves.

Strain the Mixture

If you desire a colorful drink, add 5 drops of food coloring and stir until evenly distributed.

Add Food Coloring (Optional)

Ensure your drink bottles are clean and sterilized. You can do this by running them through the dishwasher or washing with hot, soapy water.

Prepare Bottles

Pour the finished drink into the prepared bottles, leaving about an inch of space at the top.

Fill the Bottles

Seal the bottles tightly with caps and refrigerate. The bottled drink can be consumed within a week.

Calculate the total cost of the catering order before gratuity. This includes food, drinks, and any additional services.

Step 1: Determine Base Total

Multiply the base total by the gratuity percentage (18%). For example, if the base total is $200, the gratuity would be $200 x 0.18 = $36.

Step 2: Calculate Gratuity

Add the calculated gratuity to the base total to get the total amount due. For example, $200 (base total) + $36 (gratuity) = $236 (total amount due).

Step 3: Add Gratuity to Base Total

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped brisket, cream cheese, diced jalapenos, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Combine Ingredients

Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to taste.

Adjust Seasoning

Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.

Prepare Bread

In a skillet over medium heat, place the buttered bread slices, butter side down. Toast until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Toast Bread

Once the bread is toasted, remove from the skillet and spoon the brisket mixture generously on top of each slice.

Assemble the Dish

Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy your Poppin Brisket on toasted bread!

Trim any excess fat from the brisket, leaving a thin layer for flavor.

Prepare the Brisket

In a bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.

Make the Dry Rub

Rub the dry rub mixture all over the brisket, ensuring it is evenly coated.

Season the Brisket

Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Place the seasoned brisket in the smoker and cook for about 6-8 hours or until it reaches an internal temperature of 195°F (90°C).

Smoke the Brisket

Once the brisket is cooked, remove it from the smoker and let it rest for 30 minutes. Cut the brisket into 1-inch cubes.

Place the sterno holder on a stable, heat-resistant surface to ensure safety while serving food.

Prepare the Sterno Stand

Insert the sterno fuel cans into the designated compartments of the holder, ensuring they are secure and stable.

Add the Sterno Fuel

Pour 4 cups of water into the bottom pan of the chafing dish. This will create a water bath to keep the food warm.

Fill the Chafing Dish with Water

Place the chafing dish on top of the sterno holder, ensuring it is positioned correctly to receive heat from the fuel cans.

Position the Chafing Dish

Using a long lighter or match, carefully ignite the sterno fuel cans to begin heating the water and food.

Lighting the Sterno Fuel

Monitor the flame intensity and adjust as necessary by repositioning the fuel cans if needed. Ensure that the heat is sufficient to keep the water simmering.

Adjusting Heat Levels

Once the water is heated, place the food containers into the chafing dish. The steam from the hot water will help keep the food warm.

Serving the Food

Always keep a safe distance from the open flames and never leave the setup unattended. Have a fire extinguisher nearby for emergencies.

In a small bowl, combine warm water (1.5 cups) and sugar (2 tbsp). Sprinkle the active dry yeast (2 tsp) on top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

Activate Yeast

In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour (4 cups) and salt (1 tbsp). Mix well to ensure the salt is evenly distributed.

Mix Dry Ingredients

Add the activated yeast mixture and melted unsalted butter (1 tbsp) to the dry ingredients. Also, add the egg (1 large). Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Knead the Dough

Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

First Rise

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and flatten slightly to form the bun shape.

Shape the Buns

Place the shaped buns on a lined baking sheet, cover with a cloth, and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes.

Second Rise

Preheat Oven

Before baking, brush the tops of the buns with water or egg wash and sprinkle sesame seeds (2 tbsp) on top.

Add Toppings

Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.
