Combine the water, vinegar, sugar, salt, both vinegars, chile flakes, and garlic cloves in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
Remove from heat and allow to cool down a bit while you prep your cucumbers and dill.
In a 1 quart mason jar, first add 5 or 6 stalks of fresh dill, and spoon in the garlic cloves from the boil. Then add the cucumbers and pour the brine from the saucepan over everything until the mason jar is completely full.
Wipe the rim of the jar, and seal with a lid. Allow to cool completely before putting in the refrigerator.
Marinate for a minimum of 6 hours before serving. For best results, allow to marinate for at least 3 days.
