What Wikipedia says

Soma (Sanskrit: सोम, romanized: soma) is a ritual drink of importance in the Historical Vedic religion of the early Vedic Indo-Aryans. The Rigveda mentions it, particularly in the Soma Mandala. It is equivalent to the Iranian haoma, and associated with immortality (amrita) and the conquering of territory by a king.
