A hot drink made from wine, hot water, sugar, lemon juice, and spices such as nutmeg.
Negus was a popular warm drink in Britain from the eighteenth century onward, traditionally served at dances, parties, and other social gatherings.

Nutmeg and lemon are commonly added, giving the drink a spiced, slightly tart flavor. Recipes for negus appear often in older cookbooks and in novels describing formal social occasions.
