3. Measure the oil in a pouring cup or jar.
4. Whisk the yolk lightly with a wire whisk to blend with seasonings and vinegar.
5. Trickle the oil about a teaspoon at a time, whisking constantly.
6. Once the emulsion begins to thicken, pour the remaining oil in a thin steady stream, whisking continuously until the oil is incorporated and the mayonnaise is thick.
7. Add the boiling water and whisk to whiten the mayonnaise and thin the consistency if using it as a dressing.
