3. Whisk all the time as the mayonnaise begins to thicken.
4. The oil should be poured directly on to the whisk so that it is immediately incorporated into the mixture.
5. When all the oil is added, the mixture will be very thick.
6. Whisk in boiling water, this will give the mayonnaise a lighter color and a slightly softer consistency.
