You can make royal icing from an instant mix or from scratch.
INSTANT MIX
I use the Squires Kitchen Instan Mix. This is my favourite way of making royal icing because it's quick and simple. You can make both large or small batches.
1. Mix the powder with water.
The proportion given on the pack is 500 g powder + 75 ml of water. They advise to sift the royal icing mix and to use boiled water.
If you need a smaller batch, use smaller amounts:

- 300 g powder - 45 ml water
- 200 g powder - 30 ml water

CONSISTENCY
If you want the royal icing to be more runny, add water to it. Keep on adding the water gradually.
