Preparation Steps
1
Thoroughly rinse the jasmine rice in cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch, ensuring the rice remains fluffy.
2
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil with a pinch of salt, then add the cinnamon stick. Once boiling, add the rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 12-15 minutes.
3
While the rice is cooking, soak the raisins in lukewarm water for 5 minutes to soften them.
4
In a small skillet, melt the butter, then add the almonds and toast until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
5
When the rice is tender, remove the cinnamon stick, then stir in the honey and the previously drained raisins.
6
Sprinkle with the toasted almonds, then gently stir to distribute the flavors. Serve warm or at room temperature.
