In a blender, combine the fresh corn kernels and water. Blend until smooth.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your blender. - 2
Strain the corn mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pot, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: A cheesecloth can also be used for a smoother result. - 3
Add the whole milk, sugar (to taste), cinnamon sticks, and vanilla extract (if using) to the pot with the corn liquid.

If using cornstarch for a thicker consistency, whisk it with a little cold milk or water in a separate small bowl until smooth, then add it to the pot.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: Adding cornstarch to a hot liquid can cause lumps. - 5
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the atol thickens to your desired consistency and is heated through. Do not boil vigorously.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: Constant stirring is key to prevent sticking and burning. - 6
Remove the cinnamon sticks before serving. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
