This glaze is easy to make and provides an intense citrus flavor. I like to add in vanilla to round out the rough edges of the tart flavors. Some may find it to be a little tart, but pairing it with a sweet cake or quick bread will round out its flavor.

The glaze seems to work best when used the day it's made.

1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lime, lemon, or citrus juice of choice
1 teaspoon grated citrus peel
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

INSTRUCTIONS
Place powdered sugar into a bowl. Whisk in citrus juice and vanilla. Stir in citrus peel. Add additional juice, or powdered sugar to achieve desired consistency.

STORAGE
