One: Fill a 1-quart container with clean ramps, cover with water, and mix in 1 cup of salt. Make sure the salt dissolves. Let it brine overnight.
Two: Drain and rinse the ramps. Combine the brining liquid ingredients (see recipe online) in a stainless-steel pot and bring to boil, add the ramps to the pot, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
Three: Cool the mixture and transfer into a glass jar. Refrigerate until ready for use. Add one pickled ramp per drink to ramp up your brunch cocktail.
