Hand Whisk

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups extra virgin olive oil
2 TBS garlic paste
3 egg yolks
1 TBS fresh lemon juice
2 tsp water
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together the salt, cayenne pepper, egg yolks, water and garlic paste, until full combined.
Slowly (and I mean slowly - it should take 2-3 minutes to add it all the way) pour the olive oil into the mixture, white simultaneously whisking constantly, as fast as you can.
Add the lemon juice, once all the olive oil is mixed in.
Continue whisking until the aioli has a thickened, mayo-like, consistency
Store the aioli in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks

Notes

A hand mixer, or stand mixer with a whisk attachment can also be used in place of whisking by hand, which should result in a quicker, less sore arm, process.

You can also use an immersion blender, or food processor that has a removable lid, or spot in the lid to drizzle the oil into the mixture while it's mixing.
