Thoroughly wash the red bell peppers, then slice them into thin strips, removing the core and seeds.
In a large saucepan, combine the water, vinegar, salt, and sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring until all ingredients are completely dissolved.
Peel and halve the garlic cloves. Place the bay leaves, mustard seeds, and black peppercorns at the bottom of a sterilized jar.
Pack the bell pepper strips into the jar, layering them with the spices and garlic.
Pour the hot brine over the bell peppers, ensuring they are completely submerged.
Let the jar cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 48 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
The pickled red bell pepper strips are ready! Enjoy them on their own, in salads, or as a complement to sandwiches.
