How to Make Sweet Poached Corn

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine 2 cups frozen corn, 1 cup whole milk, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the corn is heated through and tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 2-3 minutes. This allows the corn to fully absorb the sweet milk mixture.
Serve immediately. For an even sweeter treat, drizzle with a touch of maple syrup or honey before serving.
