1 calves or beef tongue
3 quarts water
9 ounces brown sugar
27 ounces coarse sea salt
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 teaspoon juniper berries
2 cloves
1 bouquet garni
1 carrot, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 celery stalk, chopped
1 garlic bulb, halved

1
Put all the ingredient from the brine into a large saucepan and stir well over low heat until the sugar and salt have dissolved. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and leave to cool.
2
Place the tongue in a plastic container and pour the brine over the tongue, using something heavy such as a ceramic bowl to weigh down the tongue in the liquid. Refrigerate for 4 to 5 days. On the fifth day, remove the tongue from the brine and soak in fresh water overnight in the refrigerator.
3
Place the salted tongue in a pot along with the simmering ingredients. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 3.5 to 5 hours, depending on the kind of tongue and the size. The tongue is ready when it is very soft. Peel away the rubbery lining.
4
Serve the tongue, both hot and cold, with horseradish and mustard. Thinly sliced tongue may be used for a sandwich on rye with plenty of mustard and horseradish.
