Print Recipe

Equipment

  • 1 Glass jar

Ingredients

  • 1 handfull Fresh Dill
  • 3 cloves Fresh garlic
  • 1/2 sliced onion (optional)
  • fresh cucumbers (enough to fill your jar)
  • 3 tbsp sea salt
  • 1 quart hot filtered water
  • 1 green or black tea bag (this is optional but helps keep pickles crisp)

Instructions

  • In your clean glass jar place dill and garlic on the bottom
  • Fill the jar with as many fresh cucumbers as you can fit
  • Use a glass measuring cup to mix together the salt and water to make a brine, stir until completely dissolved
  • Pour the prepared brine over the cucumber in the jar.
  • Put your tea bag on top and cover with a lid. An airlock lid is ideal but a plastic lid will do just fine.
  • Allow the jar to sit at room temperature for 3 days. Taste your pickles, if they have fermented to your liking, move them to the fridge.
