Step 1

In a bowl, combine confectioners' sugar, orange juice (start with 1 tablespoon), and 1/4 teaspoon of orange zest. Feel free to adjust the sweetness or citrus intensity by adding more or less sugar, juice, or zest.

Step 2

Whisk the mixture until smooth, adjusting consistency with more juice if needed. Whisking ensures a smooth and lump-free glaze. Add juice gradually to control the consistency.

Step 3

Save the remaining zest and juice for future recipes or garnishing.

Step 4

You can use this glaze to drizzle over cakes, cookies, or pastries for a burst of orange flavor. Store the glaze in an airtight container in the fridge.
