It is the fibrous part of the corn plant carefully harvested during the milk stage—before the corn kernels have fully matured—standing out for its natural structure. With its unique mild aroma and texture made up of flat, ribbon-like strands, it is commonly used in herbal tea blends. The taste of corn silk tea is quite light, smooth, and herbal, carrying a character similar to green tea or mild herbal teas. It does not have a pronounced or dominant bitterness; it features a natural aroma with subtle sweet and fresh, grassy notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsage: 2 tablespoons of the herb are steeped in 500 ml of boiling water for 10 minutes.
