Roasted Corn Tea

The corn roasted for tea is not the same as the sweet, juicy corn grilled on a barbecue. Rather, it’s glutinous, starchy and chewy and has a very mild flavour. This Korean corn is an acquired taste if you didn’t grow up with it. As with Roasted Barley Tea, you can brew loose roasted corn kernels (found in the tea section of Asian markets, often next to the roasted barley) in a pot or steep tea bags in hot water. Corn tea is also caffeine-free.
