In a large container, mix a gallon of distilled water with 3/4 cup kosher salt and 3/4 cup sugar until dissolved.

Add 1 tablespoon of peppercorns, 4 bay leaves, 3 cloves of smashed garlic, and 2 teaspoons of Prague powder to the mixture.

Cut the pork loin in half and submerge it in the brine.

Refrigerate for 5 days, flipping the meat and stirring the brine each day.

After 5 days, drain the brine and rinse the pork loin to desalinate it, letting it sit in water for 2 hours, draining and refilling the water twice.

Slice the cured pork loin using a slicer, aiming for desired thickness.

Package the sliced peameal bacon in Ziploc bags for freezing.
