Preparation Steps
1
Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water 2-3 times until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch, resulting in fluffier rice.
2
In a medium saucepan, combine the water and a pinch of salt, then bring to a boil.
3
Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed rice. Stir once, then reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan.
4
Cook the rice covered for 12-15 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed. Avoid stirring during cooking.
5
When the rice is cooked, remove from heat and let it sit covered for another 5 minutes to achieve the perfect texture.
6
Meanwhile, in a smaller saucepan, gently warm the coconut milk, vanilla extract, honey, and lemon juice over low heat until the flavors meld together.
7
Carefully fold the warm coconut milk mixture into the rice, then gently fold in the blackberries. Be careful not to crush the berries.
8
Sprinkle with lemon zest and serve warm or at room temperature as a dessert or side dish.
