In a medium saucepan, combine the water, vinegar, and salt. Bring to a rolling boil and stir to dissolve the salt. Cool down to room temperature.
Meanwhile, wash the banana peppers. Cut 1/8-to 1/4-inch thick slices, discarding the stems. Pack them into a half-gallon jar. I leave the seeds in.
Peel and chop up garlic or slice it in half. Add the garlic to the sliced banana peppers.
When the pickling brine has cooled to room temperature, place a funnel over the jar and pour the liquid in. Place a weight over the peppers to keep them submerged under the brine. Keep refrigerated.
Notes
Pickled banana peppers can keep for months as long as they are under the brine.
