Wash the cucumbers, cut off the tips on both sides.

2

Wash the garlic without peeling, crush the cloves with the flat side of the knife blade.

3

Bouquet of spices cut into pieces of 5 cm.

If you add other spices, then you can first boil bay leaves, allspice, cloves, etc. in a small amount of water for 20 minutes ...

5

Put spices on the bottom of the dishes, in which the cucumbers are salted, on top of the cucumbers and so lay the entire volume in layers. Top should be spices.
