📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Oksusu cha is corn tea, made by roasting dried corn kernels and simmering them. In North Korea, where corn is widely grown, it's easily made at home and drunk hot or cold. It has a gentle sweetness and toasty aroma.

🌆 Where it's eaten: In a North Korean home in autumn, corn hanging from the eaves is stripped, roasted in a pan, and simmered into golden tea in a kettle.

🥕 Ingredients (serves 4)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Strip the kernels from the corn and sun-dry for a day or dry in a 100°C oven for 1 hour.

  2. Roast in a frying pan over low heat for 15 minutes until deep golden.

  3. Bring water and the roasted kernels to a boil in a pot.

  4. Simmer on low for 10 minutes.

  5. Strain into cups. It's also good chilled.
