It's been so chilly in the Pacific Northwest lately (by my pansy, poor-excuse-for-a-Canadian standards). My hands are dry, my face is chapped, and I've been wearing my toque indoors all day. Brr. I think it's because it's been so damp. It's a different cold from the (actual) cold I grew up with in the Northeast.

We've been keeping our fireplace (and accompanying garland of christmas lights!) Lit all day, and drinking more tea than is probably advisable. The weak tea that North Americans typically drink has the colour of dirty dishwater, almost no flavour, no need for sugar (because it is so pale and spineless). The word chai just means tea. Whenever my husband's parents visit, his mom makes me a steaming cup of her most delicious chai every morning. If you love the flavour of North American coffee-shop chai, you can by tea masala at any indian grocer, which is a ground blend of sweet spices, but I find those mixes usually taste dusty and lackluster and prefer to infuse with fresh.

Winter Recipe: White Grapefruit & Elderflower Marmalade Recipes from The Kitchn.

Ruby red grapefruits tend to get all the glory, but lately I've been relishing the white-fleshed yellow variety thanks to an abundant little grove of grapefruit trees near my mother-in-law's house in Southern California. The best yellow grapefruits have just the right balance of acid and sugar — not too sweet, not too puckery, and with a pleasant trace of bitterness. This makes for excellent marmalade and a nice change of pace from the standard orange kinds. Growing just around the bend from these particular grapefruits is a cluster of elder trees — the inspiration for this grapefruit and elderflower marmalade. The delicate elderflower pairs beautifully with the citrus in a way that's subtly floral and refreshing. It won't hit you over the head, but it will give the preserves an extra note of warmth and sunshine.
