"Just think. All across Alderaan, people are getting ready for the banquet, vegetables boiling, honey mead in the kettle, the kulkan ready for the roast…"
―Rel, to Max[1]

Honey mead was a type of mead found on the planet Alderaan. Honey was a key ingredient in the beverage. In celebration of the Winter's Heart holiday, Alderaanians across their home planet served honey mead in a kettle during a banquet.[1] By 0 BBY,[2] the Alderaanian youngling Rel discussed honey mead with his friend Max while they played in the snow.[1]

Behind the scenes
