Recipe for Fresh Lemon Royal Icing

Metric Version
1kg powdered sugar, sift if needed
50grams meringue powder
5grams(1tsp) cream of tartar(optional)
55 ml strained fresh lemon juice
110ml tap warm water
10ml (1tbl) Vanilla Extract
Cup Version
2lb (7-8 cups) powdered sugar, sift the sugar if needed
4 1/2 tbl meringue powder
1/4 cup strained fresh lemon juice (one lemon)
1/4cup +2 tbl tap warm water
1tsp cream of tartar(optional)
1tbl Vanilla Extract

For non lemon icing, use the same measurements, instead of lemon use water.
Make sure all your tools are grease free!
I wipe my tools with a piece of paper towel and vinegar. Wipe dry with a clean towel.
Sift the powdered sugar if needed, if powdered sugar has big chunks make sure you sift it, otherwise I don't sift.
Mix using a whisk meringue powder with fresh lemon juice and warm water, until slightly foamy, add cream of tartar, mix again and then add all the powdered sugar at once. Using your stand mixer, on the lowest setting, using paddle attachment, mix for about 3-4minutes, add vanilla extract, continue mixing for another 5-6 minutes. Scrape the bowl once and beat again.
When icing is done it should be stiff.
