- In a small saucepan add the remaining ingredients. Stir to dissolve sugar and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and allow it to cool. Pour the brine over the cucumbers in jar. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Will keep, refrigerated, for about 2 weeks.

Steps:
- Place a saucepan over medium-high heat. Pour in the sweet tea, white vinegar, honey, dried chives, celery seeds, salt and brine from the banana peppers (reserve the banana peppers, refrigerated, until ready to serve). Heat until just boiling and the honey has dissolved, about 4 minutes.
- Place the green beans in a heatproof dish or container. Slice the mini cucumbers into 8 spears each and add to the green beans. Pour the hot brine over the vegetables and set aside for at least 20 minutes.
- Allow the pickles to cool completely before serving or storing in an airtight container. Serve with the banana peppers.
Tips:
- Choose the right cucumbers: For best results, use pickling cucumbers, which are smaller and have a firmer texture than regular cucumbers.
- Slice the cucumbers evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
- Soak the cucumbers in salt water: This will help to remove any bitterness and make the cucumbers more crisp.
- Use a flavorful vinegar solution: The vinegar solution is what gives the pickles their tangy flavor. You can use white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or rice vinegar. You can also add sugar, herbs, and spices to the vinegar solution to create different flavor profiles.
- Let the pickles cool completely before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and develop.
Conclusion:
Quick sweet pickles are a delicious and easy snack or side dish that can be enjoyed all year round. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own delicious sweet pickles at home. So next time you're looking for a tasty treat, give these quick sweet pickles a try!
