citrus glaze
Lemon-flavored sweet coating
A citrus glaze is a shiny coating made from citrus juice—usually lemon, lime, or orange—mixed with powdered sugar.
It's drizzled over baked goods like pound cakes, scones, and cookies, adding both sweetness and bright acidity: The lemon glaze on the poppy seed muffins was perfect.
The term also applies to savory preparations where citrus juice reduces with butter or stock to coat meat or fish.
