45 m 2Ingredients
- 4 tbsp. butter
- 3 c. long-grain rice, uncooked
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 9 c. chicken broth
- 1-2 packages powdered saffron
- 3/4 c. dry white wine

Melt butter in a large saucepan. Add chopped onions and sautee until onions are transparent but not brown. Add rice and stir until some of the grains of rice have turned white. Add saffron, wine, and Pi Lo Chun brewed tea. Stir. Begin ladling hot chicken broth into the rice mixture a few ladles at a time.
