01 -

It takes ten minutes but tastes like you spent hours infusing flavors.
One batch makes enough to last through a week of meals, and it only gets better as it sits.
It transforms whatever it touches—boring fries become crave-worthy, plain grilled meats taste restaurant-quality.

Don't skip the resting time; thirty minutes of chilling makes a genuine difference in how the garlic flavor softens and integrates rather than hitting your palate like a punch.
If you mince your garlic instead of crushing it, the pieces stay distinct and sometimes feel grainy; crushing it helps the garlic release more juice and blend more smoothly into the mayo.

Fresh-squeezed lemon juice matters here more than anywhere else—bottled juice tastes tired and flat once it sits with the garlic.
If you're making this for a potluck or picnic, pack it in a small jar with a tight lid and it travels beautifully, staying cold and staying good for hours.
