First, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, butter, and water or broth. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the rice simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit, and cover, for 5 minutes.
Fluff the rice with a fork and then add in the chopped cilantro, lime juice, and additional butter if desired.
Serve hot as a side dish with your favorite main course.
Enjoy your homemade cilantro lime rice!
