  • 2 cups Sweet corn
  • 4 cups Water
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Lime juice
  • to taste Ice cubes
  • for garnish Fresh mint leaves

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Sweet Corn Water - In a pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the sweet corn and let it simmer for 5 minutes until the corn is tender. Remove the corn from the water and let it cool slightly. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the kernels off the cob. Reserve the kernels for garnish. Pour the remaining corn-infused water into a bowl and let it cool completely. - For a richer corn flavor, you can scrape the corn cob with the back of the knife after removing the kernels to extract more of the milky liquid.
  • Blend the Corn Water with Sugar - Pour the cooled corn water into a blender. Add 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 tablespoon of lime juice. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and the sugar is completely dissolved. -
  • Strain and Chill the Elixir - Place a sieve or strainer over a pitcher or bowl and pour the blended mixture through it, discarding any solids. Cover the pitcher or bowl and refrigerate the elixir for at least 1 hour to chill. - For a clearer cocktail, you can line the strainer with a cheesecloth or fine mesh sieve to remove any tiny particles.
  • Serve and Garnish - Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the chilled Cornucopia Elixir over the ice. Add some of the reserved sweet corn kernels for garnish. Optionally, you can also muddle a few fresh mint leaves in a glass before pouring the elixir for extra freshness. Serve immediately and enjoy! -
