Tips:
- Choose fresh, crisp cucumbers and carrots for the best flavor and texture.
- Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cucumbers and carrots, so they absorb the pickling liquid evenly.
- If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a vegetable peeler to create thin, even slices.
- Taste the pickling liquid before adding the cucumbers and carrots. It should be slightly sweet and tangy, with a hint of spice.
- Allow the pickles to sit in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before eating, so they have time to absorb the flavors of the pickling liquid.
- Store the pickles in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
