Fill a pot with enough water to completely cover the corn. This ensures even cooking and prevents some ears from undercooking.

Step 3: Add Natural Enhancers

Boost the flavor naturally by adding:

A pinch of salt

A little butter

A few bay leaves

These additions subtly enhance the corn without overpowering its natural sweetness.

Step 4: Boil Corn Properly

Bring the water to a boil and add the corn.

Boil for 15–20 minutes, or until the kernels are tender but not mushy.

Remove the corn and enjoy immediately, or season further to taste.
