Instructions

  1. Bring Water to a Boil: In a medium saucepan, bring 2 1/4 cups of water to a rolling boil.

  4. Rest: After 45 minutes, turn off the heat but let the pot sit, still covered, for an additional 15 minutes. Resist the urge to peek!
  5. Fluff and Serve: Finally, uncover the pot and fluff the rice with a fork for that perfect, light texture. Enjoy your delicious brown rice as a base for your favorite meals!
