Title: Basil Mayonnaise
Categories: Condiment
Yield: 4 Servings

MAYONNAISE
2		Egg yolks
1/2	ts	Dry mustard
1	ts	Vinegar, wine
1 1/2	c	Oil
SEASONINGS
1	ts	Garlic cloves, crushed
3	tb	Basil leaves
1/2	tb	Italian herbs
1	tb	Juice, lemon

Bring egg yolks to room temperature. Lightly whirl yolks, mustard, vinegar, and garlic in blender. With motor running, slowly add oil in a steady stream till mixture thickens. Add basil, Italian herbs, and lemon juice. Mix lightly. Chill 4-5 hours in refrigerator. (If you are afraid of your own mayo, just cheat and add spices and herbs to regular mayo.)

Sylvia's comments: I tried the purist way and wound up with basil-flavored oil. So I "cheated" and it was delicious.
