Making your own corn milk gives you the opportunity to experiment and find your perfect blend. This is a versatile recipe, so feel free to try out different proportions of flavors, sweeteners, and milk to discover your own favorite combination. Try experimenting with local honey as an alternative to sugar or maple syrup for a more natural flavor.
Depending on which type of corn you use, the taste and texture of this milk will vary. Yellow sweet corn has a sweeter flavor than white corn. This is the type of corn you’ll want to use in your milk. You can substitute yellow sweet corn for your white corn if you like a different flavor. The consistency of this milk will also vary depending on how much you use it.
Home-made corn milk is soft, velvety, and delicious. It’s a wholesome alternative to sweetened store-bought corn milk, which is usually made with high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), preservatives, artificial flavors and colors, and added sugars. Making your own is easy, and the result is much healthier than what you’ll find on supermarket shelves.
