In the voiceover, he explains the predominance of corn fields in Wisconsin and how making this drink is a way of embracing his origins. He blends corn, sugar and water together. He strains this mixture in order to separate the corn pieces and get a sweet corn syrup. He then uses this syrup to make a sweet corn cold foam. Next, he brews a fresh cup of espresso. Later, in a glass, he layers ice cubes, milk, corn cold foam and espresso. He mixes the ingredients gently and sips the drink. Watch the complete video below:
