Turns out java has been moved into brew core recently, so the correct command as of August 2022 is:
brew install java
Then check your installation by running
java -version
If the result does not looks like this:
openjdk 18.0.2 2022-07-19
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Homebrew (build 18.0.2+0)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Homebrew (build 18.0.2+0, mixed mode, sharing)
but like this:
The operation couldn’t be completed. Unable to locate a Java Runtime.
Please visit http://www.java.com for information on installing Java.
Then you also need to create a symlink for the system Java wrappers to find this JDK:
sudo ln -sfn /opt/homebrew/opt/openjdk/libexec/openjdk.jdk \
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk.jdk

As an add-on to the accepted answer: to install a certain version of Java, e.g. version 11, run:
brew install openjdk@11
And symlink it:
sudo ln -sfn /opt/homebrew/opt/openjdk@11/libexec/openjdk.jdk \
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-11.jdk
