Strawberry Corn Milk Recipe

Milky, sweet, and brimming with corn flavor, it's no surprise that Strawberry Corn Milk has become a trendy offering in boba shops. When in season, use fresh sweet corn for optimal flavor; alternatively, you can substitute canned sweet corn. This recipe draws inspiration from one of our favorite spots - Bopomofo Cafe.
