- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp chopped French tarragon leaves
- 200 ml vegetable oil

Whisk egg yolks with mustard, vinegar, lemon juice and tarragon. Combine oils in a jug and gradually add to egg mixture, drop by drop at first, then in a thin, steady stream, whisking for 5 minutes or until thick and emulsified.
