How to decorate the Lebkuchen
Sift the icing sugar into a bowl.
Add vanilla extract and milk.
Stir it all togetherl.
Until you have a smooth, shiny glaze.
Do mind you make the icing not to thin, it should be thick but still liquid
Spoon the icing into a piping bag.
Close off the piping bag.
Cut a tiny tip from the piping bag.
The white icing is now ready to use, we have a lot of biscuits because they are mini sized.
We decorate the Lebkuchen in three ways: white in thin lines and dots; filled up with white and filled up with various colours of icing.
