Notes
There are many wonderful uses for homemade corn milk apart from just drinking it straight from a cup. For example, if you add some cinnamon and honey, you can make a delicious hot beverage ideal for those cold winter nights; or add vanilla extract and cocoa powder for a tasty chocolate drink; or even add some lime juice for a unique twist on classic limeade. So don’t throw away those cobs once again – instead use them to make something interesting and nutritious!
