- "For instance, the folk on Etai drink this jybbuk slush covered in condensed nerf milk. It was good enough already, but coulda used some heat to balance out the sweet—so I swapped their traditional fruit garnish for a candied hot pepper that sparkles like Etai's crystal mines."
- ―Strono Tuggs, The Ultimate Cookbook
Condensed nerf milk was a condensed form of the white milk of the nerf,[1] a domesticated creature from the planet Alderaan.[2] Residents of the Mid Rim planet Etai used the condensed milk as a topping for jybbuk slush, completing the sweet beverage with a traditional fruit garnish.[1]
To create the beverage known as Spiced Jybbuk Juice, the Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs swapped out the fruit garnish in the Etaan recipe for candied hot peppers that balanced out the sweetness with heat.[1] In 35 ABY,[3] Tuggs included the recipe for Spiced Jybbuk Juice in his third cookbook, The Ultimate Cookbook, following a culinary tour of the galaxy that he took[1] between 34 ABY and 35 ABY.[3]
Behind the scenes
Condensed nerf milk was created for the 2023 Star Wars: The Ultimate Cookbook, a recipe book written by Jenn Fujikawa and Marc Sumerak with photography by Ted Thomas. The out-of-universe recipe for Spiced Jybbuk Juice uses condensed cow's milk to represent condensed nerf milk.[1]

- ↑ 3.0 3.1 Star Wars: The Ultimate Cookbook establishes that the publishing of the in-universe The Ultimate Cookbook and the culinary tour that preceded it occurred following the publishing of The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook and prior to the destruction of Kijimi. It also establishes that The Ultimate Cookbook was published following the Festival of the Ancestors that occurred during that time period. Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge: The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook further establishes that The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook was published concurrently with the First Order's search for the Resistance base on Batuu, which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 34 ABY. In addition, Timelines dates the Festival of the Ancestors and the destruction of Kijimi to 35 ABY, meaning the tour must have taken place between 34 ABY and 35 ABY and The Ultimate Cookbook must have been published in 35 ABY.
