In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, bring the water, vinegar, salt, and garlic to a simmer. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until all the salt has dissolved.
Pour the brine over the cucumbers and dill sprigs. The cucumbers should be covered with liquid. Top off with cool water if needed to cover all the cucumbers.
Cool to room temperature (about an hour) then cover and refrigerator overnight or until serving.
Notes
