Instructions:

1. In a bowl, whisk together the vinegar, water, sugar, salt, black pepper, and mustard seeds (if using) until the sugar and salt dissolve.

2. Place the sliced onions in a clean jar or airtight container.

3. Pour the vinegar mixture over the onions, ensuring they are fully submerged.
