If you ever watched Star Wars and wished you could drink Aunt Beru’s blue milk, I have some bad news for you. According to Luke Skywalker himself, it will make you gag. However, if you want to know Aunt Beru’s recipe, Mark Hamill lays it out.

“In North Africa in the first one, when we were doing all the scenes in Tatooine, there was blue milk,” Mark Hamill says during an interview on Bullseye with Jesse Thorn.  “They took blue food coloring and they have something in a triangular carton called long life milk. It doesn’t have to be refrigerated; people take it on camping trips and so forth.”

“I took a sip, and it was ghastly. Sweet and oily and gag-inducing. But I said, ‘If they’re going to put blue milk in front of me, you bet I’m going to drink it on camera.’ That’s one of the reasons I have confidence that I’m a good actor, because I took a swig and made no faces.”

If you’ve ever been to Disney World or Disneyland, they sell blue milk at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Thankfully they use a different recipe. I’m sure that would have been useful to Mark Hamill at the time.
