1
Prepare the Cucumbers
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly under cold water. Slice them into spears or rounds according to your preference. Set aside.
2
Prepare the Garlic and Dill
Peel the garlic cloves and set aside. Rinse the fresh dill under cold water and shake off excess moisture.

3
Make the Brine
In a saucepan, combine water, white vinegar, salt, and sugar. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the salt and sugar are dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool.

4
Combine Ingredients
In clean, sterilized jars, place cucumber slices, garlic cloves, fresh dill, and red pepper flakes.
5
Add Brine
Pour the cooled brine over the cucumber mixture, ensuring that all ingredients are submerged. Leave a little space at the top of each jar.
6
Seal and Refrigerate
Seal the jars tightly with lids and refrigerate. Let them sit for at least 24 hours before consuming for best flavor.
