Some use boiled kernels, with or without milk, with or without corn leaves to add to the flavor... I taste all, and the prize goes to this:
- Get the raw kernels off the cobs (2 is enough for the first experiment).
- Puree them in the blender with some water (I don't remember how much, but it doesn't matter 'cause you can always add more later).
- Strain the mixture using a cloth. Very fine cloth results in clear liquid. Otherwise you'll get many tiny yellow bits, which I prefer.
- If you want to, say, sterile it, then boil the creamy yellow liquid. A little sugar up to your taste, and all done!
You may want to add some milk (200ml) when boiling it to boost the taste, although I prefer not. Note that:
- It should be stored in airtight bottle in the fridge in 48h, top.
- You may want to use less water than the instructions, so that you can add some ice cubes later.
- There are many kinds of corn, so make sure you get the yellow, sweet one.
2. Corn milk is for entertainment. Or for a hot day. The rich taste of corn spoils the proper diner, in my opinion. But I find it get on well with breakfasts and snacks 
3. Cold corn milk for me. Simply because it's summertime. I'll try warm when winter comes
I already told you all I know about corn milk My knowledge about this is vast If you have any more question, just ask! (I can always forward your questions to my sister, that is.) |
I am sorry to bump this so late, by my Internet connection has become unreliable.
Anyway, if you let it ferment, this looks very much like chicia, the
Peruvian corn beer, one of the worst thing I ever drunk. On request I could reveal how the señoras chicera start the fermentation.
No swim yesterday, we went to Nice for a day of shopping. Tremendous heath, but successful. Little girl got 2 provençal dresses, plus a chenille pajama, a pullover and a sailor tshirt from Petit Bateau. Big girl a pair of pants, a top and a shirt from Autour du Monde. I got 3 black tshirts ( my new look).
Big girl had had a genial idea: we went to Fnac with a bicycle taxi and little girl was enthusiastic.
To day Aqualand, I am keeping the goodies for the grad finale.
Having coffee.
