YUM!
Does the lemon slice, cardamom, clove etc apply to 1 cup of rice? And do we double it as we double the amount of rice!?

This is so interesting! Boiling long grain rice in tons of hot water is also the way to make perfect Creole (New Orleans style) rice! You boil it with a couple of bay leaves. The difference is, you drain it and then put in in an oven-safe container dotted with butter, salt, and pepper, and you finish it off at 350 degrees for 5-10 minutes. It's never sticky that way, and it's just right for gumbo. (I like sticky rice, mind you, but in other contexts.)
