Author Dikla Levy Frances

Ingredients

  • 1 Orange at room temperature
  • 1 Cup Powdered sugar (120g)
  • 1 drop Orange oil (optional) OR one teaspoon orange extract

Instructions

  • Place the powdered sugar in a medium deep bowl.
  • Zest the orange and squeeze the juice.
  • Add the orange zest to the powdered sugar and mix in one tablespoon of the juice.
  • Use a fork to mix the zest and juice into the sugar.
  • Once the sugar has been completely hydrated, check the glaze's consistency.
  • If too thick, add more juice, one teaspoon at a time.
    If too thin, add more powdered sugar.
  • Mix in the oil or extract. Use immediately.

Notes

  • The zest will add some texture and create a speckles appearance to the glaze. If you do not like it, skip it and exchange it with the oil, or extract.
  • If using oil, one drop goes a very long way, do not add more.
  • Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to two days , or in the refrigerator for up to five days. Give it a stir to bring it back to a smooth consistency.
  • A medium orange can yield 3-4 tablespoons of juice, depending on its freshness. A large orange can yield 4-6 tablespoons.
