Rinse the rice in cold water until the water runs mostly clear, then drain. Combine the rinsed rice and 2 1/2 cups water in a medium pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover tightly, and cook for 15 minutes, until all the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let steam, covered, for 10 minutes.
