  • 3-4 tbsp lime juice
  • 1-2 tbsp milk more or less depending on consistency you want the glaze

Notes

You can add more powdered sugar if you want a thicker glaze (add 1/2 cup, stir and if glaze is still not as thick as you'd like add more) or add more milk or lime juice, a teaspoon at a time, if you'd like a thinner glaze.
