At that time we are going to put all the contents of the saucepan in a glass for the blender, we will also add the mustard, the sugar, the washed and grated lemon peel, and finally the juice of the same. We begin to beat everything and at the same time we will add the olive oil little by little, as if we were to prepare mayonnaise, in the form of a thread while we continue beating everything to emulsify the ingredients and the sauces take shape.
