Heat a skillet over medium heat with the oil and butter, sauté the garlic with the onion, cook the corn with a handful of squash blossoms, season with epazote and salt to taste, add the broth and milk. Cook until it boils. Set aside. Heat a small pot of water until boiling, submerge the remaining squash blossom for 3 seconds, remove, and immerse in cold ice water. Pour the previous preparations into the Vitamix® jar, close the lid tightly, select speed 1, turn on the blender, and gradually increase the speed to 10 and then to high. Blend for 6 minutes or until steam comes out through the lid's opening. Serve the cream in a deep plate, decorate with squash blossom and epazote leaves. Enjoy.
