🌽 Creamy Corn Juice


A smooth, sweet, and refreshing drink made from corn, milk, and a hint of cinnamon. Perfect for a light breakfast, an afternoon snack, or a comforting treat!


βœ“ Ingredients:

  • 3 cups whole milk (for a rich and creamy texture)

  • 1/2 cup sugar (adjust according to your preferred sweetness; you can substitute with honey or a natural sweetener)

  • 1/2 cup water (to lighten the consistency slightly)

  • 2 cups cooked corn kernels (you can use fresh corn, frozen corn, or canned corn that has been drained and rinsed)

  • A pinch of ground cinnamon (optional, for garnishing and a touch of warmth)


πŸ₯„ Instructions:

1. Prepare the corn:

  • If using fresh corn, boil the corn cobs in water until the kernels are tender, then cut the kernels off the cob.

  • If using canned corn, drain and rinse the kernels well to remove any excess salt or preservatives.

  • If using frozen corn, thaw it first and optionally warm it slightly.

2. Blend the mixture:

  • Place the 2 cups of cooked corn kernels into a high-speed blender.

  • Add the 3 cups of whole milk, 1/2 cup of water, and 1/2 cup of sugar (or your chosen sweetener).

  • Blend on high speed for 2–3 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.

3. Strain (Optional but recommended for a smoother drink):

  • Place a fine-mesh strainer, cheesecloth, or nut milk bag over a large pitcher or bowl.

  • Pour the blended mixture slowly through the strainer.

  • Use a spoon to press the pulp and extract as much liquid as possible.

  • Discard the remaining solids (or you can save them to add to pancakes, muffins, or oatmeal).

4. Adjust the flavor:

  • Taste the juice. If you prefer it sweeter, stir in a little more sugar or honey while the juice is still slightly warm so it dissolves easily.

  • If you want a slightly thinner texture, you can add a little extra milk or water and stir to combine.

5. Chill:

  • Cover the pitcher and refrigerate the corn juice for at least 30 minutes, or until well chilled.

  • The cold temperature will enhance the sweet, creamy flavors.

6. Serve:

  • Stir the chilled creamy corn juice well before pouring it into glasses.

  • Add ice cubes if you want it extra refreshing.

  • Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon over the top of each glass for a delicious aromatic touch.


✨ Tips and Variations:

  • Dairy-Free Version: You can substitute the whole milk with almond milk, coconut milk, or oat milk for a lactose-free or vegan option.

  • Extra Flavor Boost: Add a splash of vanilla extract or a little nutmeg for a deeper, more dessert-like flavor.

  • Thicker Version: Use less water if you prefer an even richer, thicker drink, similar to a smoothie.

  • Serving Idea: Serve it with a cinnamon stick as a stirrer for a beautiful presentation.

  • Storage: Keep any leftover corn juice refrigerated in a sealed container for up to 2 days. Shake or stir well before serving, as natural separation may occur.


πŸ“Œ Quick Summary:

  • Smooth, sweet, and slightly thick, this drink is nourishing and comforting.

  • Great for kids and adults alike.

  • Made with simple ingredients you probably already have at home!
