In a bowl, add the powdered sugar. Sprinkle the meringue powder over it and give it a quick mix to combine.
In a small cup, mix the water and lemon juice. Start by adding 2 tablespoons of this lemon water to the sugar. Turn your mixer on low and begin mixing. Slowly add more liquid, a little at a time, until the icing comes together. I used about 3¼ tablespoons total, but you may need a bit more or less. You’re aiming for a very thick frosting-like consistency.
Once your icing is ready, cover the bowl with a damp towel right away to keep it from drying out or forming a crust. Keep it covered while you work.

Nutrition info is estimated and may vary based on ingredients and portions. For the most accurate details, consider using a nutrition tool or checking our full Nutrition Information Disclaimer.
Lemon juice is optional and can be replaced with any extract you want, you can also not add any flavor. I would advise you to use a clear extract, anything with color will slightly tint the icing.
