Frequently Asked Questions About Corn tea
What is corn tea?
Corn tea is a caffeine-free infusion made from roasted corn kernels, not from tea leaves. It is especially popular in Korea, where it is known as oksusu-cha, and is usually served plain.
How do you make corn tea?
Make corn tea by simmering roasted corn kernels in water or steeping them in freshly boiled water, then straining the drink. A longer brew gives a deeper roasted flavor; follow the package directions for commercial kernels.
Does corn tea contain caffeine?
No, plain corn tea is naturally caffeine-free because it is brewed from corn rather than tea leaves or coffee. A blend that includes black or green tea can contain caffeine, so check what has been added.
Is corn tea the same as corn silk tea?
No, corn tea is made from roasted kernels, while corn silk tea uses the fine strands found on an ear of corn. They have different ingredients and flavors, so information about one should not automatically be applied to the other.
What does corn tea taste like?
Corn tea has a mild, slightly sweet, toasted-grain flavor rather than the grassy or bitter taste of many leaf teas. The roast level changes its intensity, and it is commonly enjoyed without milk.
Can you drink corn tea cold?
Yes, corn tea can be served cold. Brew it first, strain out the kernels, and chill it; pouring it over ice is another option. Refrigerate leftover tea rather than leaving it at room temperature.
Does corn tea help with weight loss?
No, corn tea does not cause weight loss on its own. Unsweetened corn tea can replace a sugary drink, but there is no established special fat-burning effect from drinking it.
Is corn tea good for hydration?
Yes, corn tea contributes to fluid intake because it is a water-based, caffeine-free drink. It can be one of your drinks through the day, though plain water is a simple choice when you are thirsty.
Can you drink corn tea before bed?
Yes, plain corn tea is caffeine-free, so it is less likely to interfere with sleep than caffeinated tea or coffee. If nighttime bathroom trips disturb your sleep, avoid drinking a large cup close to bedtime.
Can you drink corn tea every day?
Yes, most people can enjoy plain corn tea as a regular drink. Avoid it if you have a corn allergy, and check packaged blends for added sugar or other ingredients that may change what you are drinking.

What is Corn tea?
Corn tea is an infusion made by steeping roasted corn kernels in hot water. It is especially familiar in Korea, where it is enjoyed as a mild, everyday drink rather than as tea made from tea leaves. Roasting gives the brew a gently toasted, grain-like flavour with a natural hint of sweetness. It can be served hot or chilled, on its own or alongside a meal.
When brewed without sweetener, corn tea is very light and provides virtually no protein or fibre. It suits anyone looking for a caffeine-free alternative to ordinary tea. For a fuller roasted flavour, let the kernels steep a little longer; serve it plain or chilled instead of adding sugar.
