 1 cup Japanese rice wine vinegar (I prefer Mizkan)
 4 tbsp castor sugar
 4 tsp sea salt
 2 tsp black mustard seeds
 2 cucumbers, thinly sliced
 1 small bunch fresh dill, leaves only
 2 garlic cloves
1

Bring the rice wine vinegar to a simmer in a non-reactive saucepan with the sugar, salt and mustard seeds, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.

2

Layer the cucumber slices, dill and garlic cloves into a sterilised jar, packed tightly as possible.
