Steps

   In a container, combine the rice with lemon juice and enough water to cover it completely. Allow the rice to soak overnight or for a minimum of 8 hours.

2. 2

   Begin by setting the oven temperature to 375°F.

3. 3

   Begin by draining the rice using a fine-mesh sieve and rinsing thoroughly under cold running water. Transfer the rice into a 2-quart casserole dish or any baking dish with a well-fitting lid. Proceed to pour in the tea and broth, sprinkle in the salt, and gently mix everything together. Cover the dish securely and bake in the oven for 40 to 60 minutes until the rice is cooked through and has soaked up all the liquid. Once done, use a fork to fluff up the rice, then mix in the scallions before fluffing it once more before serving.
