Tips:

  • Choose ripe and flavorful fruits: The quality of your fruits will greatly impact the taste of your negus. Opt for ripe, in-season fruits that are bursting with flavor.
  • Use a variety of fruits: Don't be afraid to mix and match different fruits to create a unique and delicious negus. Some popular combinations include strawberries and raspberries, blackberries and blueberries, or peaches and apricots.
  • Adjust the sweetness to your liking: Negus can be made as sweet or tart as you like. If you prefer a sweeter negus, add more sugar or honey. For a tarter negus, use less sugar or honey, or add a squeeze of lemon juice.
  • Serve negus chilled or warm: Negus can be served chilled or warm, depending on your preference. If you're serving it chilled, be sure to chill the wine and fruit mixture before adding the hot water. If you're serving it warm, heat the wine and fruit mixture gently over low heat until it's just warm to the touch.
