The first step is to clean the green beans and cut off the ends.
Add the green beans to a clean, sterilized jar with the garlic cloves and pickling spices. .
Next, you want to get the brine going. Add the water, vinegar, salt, and sugar to a saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a boil until the sugar is dissolved. Set the brine aside to let it cool.
Make sure the brine is cooled off before adding to the jar with the green beans. If the brine is hot you will no longer have crispy green beans, or the vibrantly green color.
Place the lid on your jar and refrigerate for up to two weeks. They taste best if you let them sit for 24-48 hours before eating.
