The easiest way to make mayonnaise is is by using a stick blender.
Mix all the ingredients in a jar or similar with an opening large enough that the blender can go into. Then you will have no other washing up to do than the stick blender.
Mix the oil in last. Wait until the oil floats on top, and the rest has sunk to the bottom.
Then begin blending at the bottom in small pulses. It is important to start with the ingredients in the base. If you blender the oil first, it will not succeed.
Pulse once a second and then wait a little. Pulse and wait, etc... Keep it up until you start to get white mayonnaise on the bottom. Then you can let the pulses become longer and longer, and you can slowly pull the blender out of the glass so the last of the oil is blended in.
Blend until it has the right consistency. If it becomes a little too thin you can add some more oil.

TIPS-
A neutral flavoured oil is preferable.
You can use all kinds of acid instead of lemon. Lime, apple cider vinegar, white vinegar, etc.., You can use more acid to counteract the fatty oil.
Instead of pepper and mustard you can use other dried herbs.
When it is finished, with the desired consistency. you can blend in some fresh herbs, or even garlic.
