1
Prepare the Cucumbers
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly under cool running water. Slice them into thin rounds or spears, depending on your preference. Place the sliced cucumbers in a large bowl.
2
Make the Pickling Solution
In a medium saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, sugar, salt, garlic cloves (smashed), black peppercorns, and red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and salt are dissolved.

3
Combine and Pour
Once the pickling solution is boiling, remove it from heat and pour it over the sliced cucumbers in the bowl. Ensure that the cucumbers are fully submerged in the liquid.
4
Add Dill
Place the dill sprigs on top of the cucumbers in the bowl. Gently stir to combine everything.

5
Cool and Chill
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, transfer the pickles to a clean jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before consuming for the best flavor.
