Description

 This naturally sweet and creamy corn milk is a delicious dairy-free alternative. Packed with nutrients, it’s perfect as a warm or chilled drink, in smoothies, or with cereal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh corn kernels (or frozen, thawed)

  • 3 cups water

  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, adjust to taste)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ¼ teaspoon salt


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Corn: If using fresh corn, remove kernels from the cob and rinse thoroughly. If using frozen corn, allow it to thaw.

  2. Blend the Corn: In a blender, combine corn and water. Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes until smooth.

  3. Strain the Mixture: Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a bowl, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard or repurpose the remaining pulp.

  4. Heat and Flavor: Transfer the strained liquid to a saucepan over low heat. Stir in sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Heat gently for about 5 minutes, stirring continuously. Avoid boiling.

  5. Serve and Enjoy: Pour into cups and serve warm, or chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour for a refreshing cold version.

Notes

For a richer texture, replace part of the water with coconut milk.

Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra warmth and depth of flavor.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Shake before serving as natural separation may occur.
