Bring water to a boil in a large pot with a fitting lid. Once boiling, add the milk, butter, lemon, and sugar to the water and bring back to a boil.

Once all the sugar is dissolved in the boiling water, turn off the heat. Add your corn then put the lid on the pot for ten minutes. Leave it be.

After ten minutes your corn is finished cooking. Season with whatever you like, I add salt and pepper. And more butter, but that's just because I'm a butter fiend.
