How do you make mayonnaise?

The recipe I use calls for 3 egg yolks, 1 tbsp oil, ½tsp lemon juice, ½ tsp lime juice, ¼tsp sugar, pinch of salt.

Whip together in a bowl or jar, it won’t emulsify if there’s a thunderstorm coming.

Somehow the yolks turn white. I assume this is due to the proteins getting stretched.

You can add one of the egg whites if you’re making an aioli from scratch. Otherwise, merengue.
