Ingredients:
- Fresh or dried corn silk (from 2-4 ears of corn)
- 4 cups of water
- Optional: Honey or lemon for taste
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare the Corn Silk
- If using fresh corn silk, remove it from the ears of corn and rinse thoroughly to remove any dirt or pesticides.
- If using dried corn silk, ensure it is clean and free from contaminants.
2. Boil the Water

4. Strain the Liquid
- After simmering, remove the pot from the heat and let it cool slightly. Strain the liquid into a cup or pitcher using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove the corn silk.
5. Add Flavor (Optional)
