    Method: 

    Put egg, lemon juice, mustard powder, honey, salt, garlic, herbs and 2 tablespoons of oil in a blender and blend on low to completely puree. Removing the top from the blender, very slowly drizzle in the remaining 6 tablespoons of oil, gradually turning the blender onto a higher speed. The mayonnaise will be thickened slightly but not as thick as commercial mayonnaise. Cover and refrigerate. Use within two weeks.
