5 tablespoons water
2 2/3 cup powdered sugar
Additionally- gel paste food coloring and a few teaspoons more water to thin the icing to the proper consistency.

Directions:
Place the meringue powder and water in a large bowl and whisk until all the powder has dissolved and the mixture is frothy.
Add the powdered sugar and stir until combined.
Whip on high speed until the icing is very fluffy and stiff, about 5-7 minutes. It should hold stiff peaks.
Transfer to an air-tight container until ready to tint and pipe.
To tint and thin to proper consistency:
Spoon about 1/2 cup of royal icing into a small bowl and add a few drops of gel-paste color. Stir in until desired color is reached. (Some colors, such as red and black, will deepen over time.)
Add water, about an eighth of a teaspoon at a time, until the icing is the consistency of Elmer's glue. It should smooth over on its own after a few seconds.
Use immediately; Royal Icing will become thin and runny, and may separate, over the course of about 24 hours.
