Sieve the powdered sugar to ensure there are no lumps and so that your icing will be smooth.

Mix in the remaining ingredients in a small bowl until smooth. You may not need all the milk so just add 4 teaspoons to start and then add more as you need. The glaze should be thick but not too thick that it doesn't drip a little.
