Jane Eyre first arrives at Thornfield late on a cold night, after a long journey. As she sits close to the fire, Mrs. Farifax welcomes her like a guest, with sandwiches and a little hot negus. A negus is a citrusy version of English mulled wine, and perfect for winter. It’s ideal on a cold night – a recipe that can be scaled up to serve to a whole party without too much trouble.
