    1/2 cup  water
    1 1/2 cup  sugar
    1 T  mustard seed

Instructions:
1. Wash the cucumbers and slice them thin using a mandolin slicer

2. Layer your cucumbers, salt, and onion in a large bowl or pot. Toss to combine completely. Cover and set aside for about an hour.

3. To make the brine, combine vinegar, water, sugar, garlic, celery seed, and mustard seed. Bring boil, while stirring occasionally. Gently boil for about 2 minutes until all of the sugar has dissolved.

4. Drain the excess liquid from the cucumber and onion mixture.

6. Fill your jars with the pickles, making sure each jar has at least one piece of garlic in it. Fill with enough liquid to cover all of the pickles.
