    You need to actually cook the rice in boiling water. It won’t work right out of the bag.

    what does "soaked in 2 C hot water"
    mean?


  • HNE

    ok, its 2 cups, sorry…

    Question: recipe instructions say to add almonds, rice and WATER. Ingredients say to drain water from almonds. So I’d assume I should add fresh water…? How much?


  • Blendtec

    Yes, the water from the almonds should not be used. You will need one cup of fresh water.
