- 2
Pour in the sunflower oil (or your chosen oil). Let it rest for a second

Seal the jar tightly. Shake it for about 20–30 seconds. You’ll see the mixture emulsify—tiny droplets of oil will suspend in the vinegar mix

Give it a taste. If it’s too tangy, add a little more honey. If it’s too thick, add a tablespoon of water. If it’s too flat, a pinch more salt or pepper can brighten it
