For the Garlic-Herb Butter

- 1 clove garlic (finely minced) Boosts the dish with robust savory depth.

For the Corn

Instructions
Preparation
- Combine melted butter, chopped parsley, minced garlic, and honey in a mixing bowl. Stir until smooth and evenly blended.
Cooking the Corn
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the cut pieces of corn and cook for about 5 minutes until tender. Drain thoroughly.
Brushing with Butter
