"Handin' folks a liquid death sentence wouldn't be great for my reputation, so despite its dramatic name, this here is really just a fancy mix of spiced rice milk and high-octane caf. It's a favorite of the Dugs on Malastare who harvest the planet's resources."
―Strono Tuggs, The Ultimate Cookbook[1]

Spiced rice milk was type of spiced beverage made using milk and rice. It was mixed with high-octane caf to make the beverage known as Malastarian Fuel, which was popular with the Dugs on the Mid Rim planet Malastare who worked on harvesting the world's resources. Following a culinary tour of the galaxy that he took[1] between 34 ABY and 35 ABY,[2] the Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs included spiced rice milk as part a recipe for Malastarian Fuel, which he considered fancy, in his third cookbook, The Ultimate Cookbook, which was published[1] in 35 ABY.[2]

Behind the scenes

Spiced rice milk was mentioned as part of a recipe in the 2023 Star Wars: The Ultimate Cookbook, a recipe book written by Jenn Fujikawa and Marc Sumerak. Other than the strong coffee, the other ingredients for the out-of-universe recipe for Malastarian Fuel are long-grain white rice, water, broken cinnamon sticks, evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract.[1]

  2. 2.0 2.1 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.
