[Indonesian Recipes] Susu Jagung – Corn Milk

Susu jagung, or corn milk, is something that has only been popular in recent years. I guess it is not exactly a ground breaking invention when the world is used to corn chowder and corn soup, corn milk is almost like that, except its sweet, and its a drink.

To be honest, when I first see this, my first thought was ewww, really? Then I gave it a try, hmm, not bad. And sometimes later, another try, hmm, still not bad, getting better actually. In a sense, kinda like soy milk. The idea may be foreign at first, but once you get used to it, it just grows on you somehow. So give it a try next time you have extra corn laying around and not sure what to do with it, you may end up with a new favorite drink. Oh, and it is supposed to be healthy and good for you, if you need a bit of an extra push.
