Ingredients

Cut each garlic clove in half lengthwise, remove the small green sprout if it comes out easily, and put the halves in a food processor. Add 1½ tsp salt and pulse until finely chopped.
Add the lemon juice and process until mostly smooth. Scrape down the sides so the garlic gathers at the bottom. Let it sit with the lemon juice for 15 minutes.
With the processor running, slowly drizzle in about 2 tbsp oil through the feed tube. Stop and scrape the bowl, then process again.
Keep running the processor and add the oil in a thin stream, about ¼ cup at a time, scraping the bowl after each addition and keeping the sauce creamy and emulsified.
After each cup of oil, add about 1 tbsp ice water. If the toum looks about to separate, mix in a little ice water to bring it back together.
When all the oil is in, add 1 to 2 tbsp more ice water. The finished sauce should be thick, fluffy and white, like mayonnaise. Taste and add more salt and lemon juice if wanted.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
