Bantha Milk

January 9, 2015February 16, 2016 / May the Fourth be with You Party: Anette

Today, I learned a new phrase (from wookieepedia) that I think I will use often:
Blue Milk Run.

It is used when explaining something that should be super simple. Bantha milk was easily available all over the galaxy, and going to pick some up was never a problem, so among military personnel the phrase came to mean an easy mission. Kyle Katarn tells Jaden Korr about the Mission to Tatooine: This should be a total blue milk run, kid. But it’ll give you a chance to pick up some negotiating skills. Let’s head to Tatooine.

Bantha milk is also by far the most recognizable food from the movies. EVERYONE knows about Bantha milk (even casual Star Wars watchers). It is of course easy to make (I mean, making it, is a Blue Milk Run. Very Meta!), but it tastes surprisingly weird. Something about the color, it just doesn’t seem right, having said that, no Star Wars party would be complete without it.

Needed:

Whole Milk
Cup
Spoon
Blue Food Coloring
Pitcher

How To:

Mix a few drops (beads if you use gel) of food coloring in a small amount of milk in a cup, that way you can control the intensity of the color better – and easier work out any chunks of the gel.
Pour mixture into the pitcher with milk, a little at a time until you get a color you like.
Pour a glass, and make sure you protect you table with one of our Perler coasters!
