*Aquafaba is the juice from a can of organic garbanzo beans, the perfect substitute for eggs. Best, if kept cold in the refrigerator before using. To make simply place cold garbanzo bean juice into a bowl and use a hand mixer mix at high speed until foamy. Usually a few minutes.
**If your glaze is too thick add 1 Tablespoon of orange juice as needed, or if to thin add 1 Tablespoon of powdered sugar as needed.
***I prefer using organic or home garden produce when available.
