- 2-3 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 235 ml melted coconut oil (but not hot)
- 115 ml MCT oil, e.g. B. ROCKET C8 OMEGA
- ¼ tsp sea salt
Here's how:
- Whisk the egg yolk and apple cider vinegar together.
- Then heat the liquid on the stove at low temperature, stirring constantly, until a thick mass is formed.
- Let the mixture cool briefly, then slowly add 1/4 of the oil, a few drops at a time, until the mixture becomes creamy. Instead of stirring yourself, you can also use a mixer.
- Then slowly add the remaining oil and continue mixing.
- Serve immediately or keep refrigerated for BBQ.
