Ingredients

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional but worth it)

How to Make This Easy Glaze

Mix together the powdered sugar and 1/2 of the lemon juice into a mixing bowl. Slowly add in more lemon juice while stirring to get the consistency you want.

If using the vanilla, add the 1/4 teaspoon in. You can also use almond extract to give it a bit of an almond flavor.

Tips for Making A Lemon Flavored Glaze

• If your glaze is too thick you can add more lemon juice.
• If the glaze is too thin, you can add more powdered sugar.
• If you want more lemon flavor, you can add more lemon juice or lemon zest.
• Bring in more flavor by using extracts. Vanilla and almond are my favorites but you can experiment with other flavors.
