When I was young, my mom always made a refreshing tea that included corn silk. It wasn't until recently that I realized how beneficial corn silk is for our health.

Corn silk contains:
Nutrients like proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, fiber, calcium, potassium, magnesium, sodium, iron, zinc, and chloride. Bioactive phytochemical compounds, such as phenols, polyphenols, phenolic acids, flavonoids, flavone glycosides, anthocyanins, carotenoids, terpenoids, alkaloids, and
steroids.

So, instead of throwing away corn silk, consider using it to make tea!

Instructions:
1. Gather corn silk from 3-4 corn cobs.
2. Thoroughly clean the corn silk.
3. Add about 4 cups of water.
4. Cook on low heat for 15 minutes or until it reduces by half.
5. Strain the tea and enjoy it hot or cold.
