For Chilly Summer Nights: Sweet Corn and Milk Drink
Saveur

Oooh, doesn't it just look like holiday eggnog? This drink, which originated in Central America, has a decidedly summer twist to it, though. It's made with sweet corn that's blended with milk and simmered with sugar and cinnamon. Ho, ho, ho yeah.

If you live in a climate where it gets breezy and chilly at night, even in July, you could serve this as a hot toddy when the sun goes down. Of course, that would assume you added a little booze, but that wouldn't be so bad, would it?

We also think a scoop of ice cream would taste good floating on the top.

A little bit of whiskey in this would be good!

Atol! This is what my (Guatemalan) childhood was all about! (Please note there is no -e at the end of atol, just like a Central American guacamol is written sans -e). We would drive up to a church on Sunday afternoons (any church, I was raised atheist) and we'd bring a plastic pitcher to fill up (there were hygiene concerns regarding the use of the atol stand's ceramic mugs which strangely enough didn't apply to the enormous vat that held the atol). Yum yum!

One of my favorite things to eat in the summer is corn soup, and this sounds like a yummy dessert version!
