To use: Mix 1 cup of the rice mix with 2 cups of liquid - either water, broth, juice, or a combination. A tablespoon of butter or margarine is a nice addition. Place the rice, liquid and butter on high heat and bring to a rolling boil. Immediately reduce the heat to very low, cover, and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed.
