Set up a bowl with a teacup inside to catch corn kernels while cutting.

Use a sharp knife to cut down the kernels off the corn cobs, going deep to get all the goodness.

Switch to a serrated knife for better cutting of the kernels.

Make eight cuts on each cob, creating a square shape to easily remove the kernels.

Place the cut kernels into a bowl and save the cobs for boiling.

Add 11 cups of water to a pot for boiling with the corn cobs.

Bring the water to a boil and let it boil for 15 minutes to extract flavor from the cobs.

Remove the cobs from the pot after boiling.

Blend the corn kernels in a Magic Bullet or similar blender, adding a touch of water to help blend.

Pour the blended corn mixture back into the pot with the boiled water.

Bring the mixture back to a boil and cook for another 15 minutes.

Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to separate the liquid from the solids.

Use two sieves, one with a semi-mesh and one with a finer mesh, to strain the corn milk.

Pour the strained corn milk into a bowl, yielding about 7 cups of liquid.

Add 1 cup of sugar to the corn milk while it is still hot to dissolve it.

Taste and adjust sweetness as desired, adding less sugar if preferred.

Serve the corn milk over ice for a refreshing drink.
