Start by washing fresh celery stalks thoroughly under cool running water. Slice them into spears about 3 to 4 inches long.

In a medium saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, salt, and spices. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes.

Carefully pour the hot brine over the prepared celery spears in a jar, ensuring they are completely submerged.

Let the jar cool at room temperature for 20-30 minutes. Seal the lid and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours before enjoying.
