Negus is another name for mulled wine, which traditionally was prepared by adding some cinnamon/cloves/nutmeg/fruit peel/whatever to a mug of wine, and then heating it by stirring with a hot poker from the fire.
| Make a syrup by boiling for 5 minutes: | 2 1/2 cups sugar |
| 1 1/4 cups water |
| 4 dozen whole cloves |
| 6 sticks cinnamon |
| 3 crushed nutmegs |
| Peel of 3 lemons, 2 oranges |
|
| Strain syrup. Add to it: | 4 cups hot lemon or lime juice |
|
| Heat well and add: | 4 bottles red wine |
|
| Serve very hot with slices of: | Lemon and pineapple |
|
These proportions may be varied to taste. Sometimes Madeira, port or sherry is used in this formula.
