Place the egg yolks, lemon juice and mustard in a blender or food processor; blend or process until the mixture is smooth. With the motor still running, slowly add the oil in a thin, steady stream until the mixture thickens. If your mayonnaise is a bit too thick, add a little of the warm water to make it thinner.
