To make corn silk tea recipe, start by collecting fresh corn silk from corn cobs. Choose ears of corn that are still in their husks and gently peel back the outer layers to reveal the silky threads within.
Step 2: Prepare The Corn Silk
Separate the corn silk from the cobs and remove debris or damaged portions. Rinse the corn silk thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or impurities.
Step 3: Brew The Tea
In a saucepan, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the cleaned corn silk to the boiling water and reduce the heat to a simmer. Allow the corn silk to steep for about 10 minutes or until the water takes on a golden hue and a pleasant aroma fills the air.
