CHEF TIPS:
Charred Corn Syrup: Grill 2 ears of corn until charred. Cut the kernels off (save for a snack!) and break the cobs into pieces. Simmer the cobs in 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar for 10 minutes. The cobs hold incredible "corn" flavor and a hint of smoke. Strain and cool.
Tajín: The salt, chili, and lime in the Tajín are essential to cut through the sweetness of the corn syrup.
Sparkling Water: Use a neutral sparkling water so the delicate toasted corn flavor can shine through.
Serve immediately. Enjoy the Charred Corn & Lime responsibly 🌽🔥
