For a more intense peppermint flavor, use a high-quality peppermint extract or peppermint oil. Sifting the confectioners' sugar ensures a smooth and lump-free frosting. Be careful not to overbeat the frosting, as this can cause it to become too soft. For a festive touch, consider using crushed peppermint candies as a garnish.
