The Magical Ingredient: Milk
Yes, you read that right. Milk, with its rich, creamy properties, can transform your pot of boiling water into a luxurious bath that gently coaxes the natural sugars out of the corn, resulting in ears that are not only sweeter but also more tender. The addition of milk alters the cooking environment, infusing the corn with a subtle richness that water alone could never achieve.
How to Perfectly Boil Corn with Milk
Fill your pot: Start by filling your pot with enough water to cover the corn. But hold off on placing the corn in just yet.
Add the magic: For every quart of water, add a cup of milk. This ratio ensures that the water is sufficiently enriched without overwhelming the corn’s natural flavor.
Sweeten the deal: Alongside the milk, consider adding a tablespoon of sugar to the pot. This further enhances the corn’s sweetness, making each bite a delight.
Bring to a boil: Only now do you add the corn to your pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer gently until the corn is tender and infused with flavor.
