- White vinegar is always the first and most traditional option. However, if you like rice wine vinegar or apple cider, go for it, but it will change the flavor.
- You can add ginger, garlic, or any herbs that you know you like.
- The sweetener touch is as you prefer, some people like it tangy and some others prefer it sweeter.
- The shape of the cucumber pickles is completely up to you. If you want them round, then count them into slices 2 mm inch thick.
