Cereals (Put the rice in a strainer)

Put the rice in a strainer; place the strainer over a bowl nearly full of cold water; rub the rice; lift the strainer from the bowl and change the water. Repeat the process until the water in the bowl is clear. Have the two quarts of water boiling briskly; add the rice and salt gradually so as not to check the ebullition; boil twenty minutes or until soft; drain through a colander and place the colander over boiling water for ten minutes to steam. Every grain will be distinct and tender.

If desired, the rice may be brought to a boil in a little milk instead of being steamed, though in this case the grains may not remain separate.

Serve as a vegetable with butter and salt, or as a cereal with cream and sugar.
