Ingredients

1 gallon cold water
0.5 cup white sugar
0.5 cup salt
8 ears corn on the cob, husks and silk removed
0.5 cup softened butter, or to taste
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

In a large pot, combine cold water with sugar and ½ cup of salt, stirring until fully dissolved. Submerge the corn in the mixture and let it soak for 30 minutes to 8 hours for optimal flavor.
Prepare your outdoor grill by preheating it to a high heat. Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.
Grill the corn on the preheated grill, turning every 2 to 3 minutes, until slightly charred on all sides. Brush generously with butter, then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
