Notes
Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best results.
Zest the lime before juicing.
Roll room temperature lime on the counter to loosen the juices so you get more juice out of one lime.
Always wash the cilantro before using it.
Rinsing rice before using helps remove extra starch (as well as any dust) so the rice won't stick together as they cook.
