Ingredients

• 2 lbs cucumbers (about 4 medium cucumbers)
• 6 cups filtered water (non-chlorinated)
• 4 tablespoons fine sea salt or Himalayan salt (make sure salt is the only ingredient as some will add an anti-caking agent – you don’t want that)
• 6-8 garlic cloves (optional)
• 6 tablespoons fresh dill or 4 dill heads (optional)
• 4 bay leaves (or 2 grape leaves) – this will help maintain crispness of the cucumbers
• 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoon whole peppercorns
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon allspice berries
• 2 quart-sized mason jars – cleaned and sterilized
