1 teaspoon mint extract
4 tablespoons milk

Tips:

  • If the glaze is too thick, add a little bit of milk or cream to thin it out. Conversely, if the glaze is too thin, add more powdered sugar until you reach the desired consistency.
  • For a more intense chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate or cocoa powder in the glaze.
  • Add a touch of peppermint extract or oil to the glaze for a refreshing mint flavor.
  • To create a marbled effect, swirl different colors of glaze together before pouring it over the cake or pastry.
  • For a shiny glaze, brush the surface of the cake or pastry with a simple syrup or glaze.
