  3. Add 1 tsp of White Wine Vinegar to the jug (this will help it thicken), then start mixing with the hand whisk again.
  4. Start adding the rest of the Oil very slowly to the jug whilst continuing to whisk. If you add it too quickly, the Oil and Egg won't combine. Don't be tempted to speed up pouring in the Oil as you get towards the end either - pour it in at a slow/steady pace.
  5. When you've added oil the oil, remove the whisks, season if necessary and enjoy.

If you want to make Garlic Mayonnaise, simply throw a couple of Garlic Cloves into the mix.
