Tips:

- The pickling liquid can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- The pickled carrots can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 months. Be sure to keep them submerged in the pickling liquid.
- Pickled carrots are a great addition to salads, sandwiches, and wraps. They can also be used as a garnish for cocktails or mocktails.
