Steps:
- Place the water into a large 6 to 8 quart stockpot along with salt, sugar, saltpeter, cinnamon stick, mustard seeds, peppercorns, cloves, allspice, juniper berries, bay leaves and ginger. Cook over high heat until the salt and sugar have dissolved. Remove from the heat and add the ice. Stir until the ice has melted. If necessary, place the brine into the refrigerator until it reaches a temperature of 45 degrees F. Once it has cooled, place the brisket in a 2-gallon zip top bag and add the brine. Seal and lay flat inside a container, cover and place in the refrigerator for 10 days. Check daily to make sure the beef is completely submerged and stir the brine.
- After 10 days, remove from the brine and rinse well under cool water. Place the brisket into a pot just large enough to hold the meat, add the onion, carrot and celery and cover with water by 1-inch. Set over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and gently simmer for 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until the meat is fork tender. Remove from the pot and thinly slice across the grain.

Tips:
- Choose a good cut of meat: Corned beef is typically made from brisket, but you can also use chuck roast or top round. Look for a piece of meat that is well-marbled and has a good amount of fat.
- Brine the corned beef: Brining the meat helps to tenderize it and add flavor. You can either use a store-bought brine or make your own. To make your own brine, dissolve 1/4 cup of salt, 1/4 cup of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of pickling spice in 1 gallon of water. Add the corned beef to the brine and refrigerate for at least 24 hours, or up to 5 days.
- Rinse the corned beef: Before cooking the corned beef, rinse it thoroughly under cold water to remove any excess salt.
- Cook the corned beef: You can cook the corned beef in a variety of ways, including boiling, braising, or roasting. The cooking time will vary depending on the method you choose.
- Serve the corned beef: Corned beef is typically served with boiled potatoes, cabbage, and carrots. You can also serve it with rye bread or horseradish sauce.
