Ingredients
  

For the Pickles
  • 4 medium Cucumbers or 1 English cucumber for different texture
  • 1 bunch Fresh Dill do not substitute for authentic taste
  • 2 cloves Garlic smashed
  • 1 teaspoon Mustard Seeds optional
For the Brine
  • 1 cup Water

Preparation Steps
  1. Trim the ends of the cucumbers and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds or spears.
  2. In a small pot, combine water, rice vinegar, and kosher salt. Add smashed garlic cloves.
  3. Heat the mixture over medium-high heat until it reaches a gentle boil, stirring occasionally until the salt fully dissolves. Let it cool slightly.
  4. Layer cucumber slices in a mason jar with fresh dill and sprinkle mustard seeds if using.
  5. Pour the cooled brine over the cucumbers until completely submerged, and seal the jar tightly.
  6. Refrigerate the jar for at least 12 to 24 hours to allow flavors to develop.
