Rinse the rice in a medium saucepan under cold water until the water runs mostly clear, then drain. Add 2 1/2 cups water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to the lowest setting, cover tightly, and cook for 18 minutes, until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
