Allow to cool. In a mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar and 3 tablespoons concentrated tea. Stir until icing is well blended and smooth, adding more tea by teaspoonfuls if icing is too thick or more sugar by tablespoonfuls if it's too thin. Using a small spatula, spread thin layer of icing atop each cookie. And she danced under the icy winter moon with snow falling in her silken hair, until she found the ring of roses that enticed her into their warmth.
