INFORMATION:
The long, shiny, thread-like strands that grow on corncobs are called Corn Silk. These thread-like fibers are made from the stigma, which is the female flower of the corn plant, and aid in the pollination and growth of corn. In traditional Chinese and Native American medicine, Corn Silk was used to treat urinary and bladder problems. Although Corn Silk is routinely used in herbal medicine practices, studies on it are limited. More current research is looking into the properties of Corn Silk that may help reduce inflammation, support digestion, and alleviate symptoms of urinary tract infections. Corn Silk, naturally rich in flavonoid antioxidants, is an herbal infusion with potential wellness benefits and delightful flavor.
Corn Silk has a comforting earthiness that is sweet and mild, brewing into a pleasant tisane that needs no sweetener but easily welcomes honey or any other sweet addition. A gentle infusion that can be enjoyed any time of day, and a wholesome and light flavor that guarantees a refreshing and satisfying cup of tea. The soft and smooth profile of Corn Silk allows it to pair well with a plethora of other herbs, fruits, and teas. We recommend trying a calming combination of chamomile, mint, and Corn Silk. Or sprinkle a generous handful into a classic Earl Grey to add subtle sweetness and nuance to the tea. Corn Silk tea is also delicious tisane all on its own, and it is a popular hot drink in Korea during the winter season. It is commonly called oksusu-suyeom-cha and can be made from corn kernels, Corn Silk, or a combination of both. This herbal will elevate your tea ritual, letting you explore diverse combinations or savor its pure essence for a comforting, caffeine-free cup of sweet warmth.
