1. In a medium bowl, soak the rice in the water, about 30 minutes.
2. Put the rice with the water it was soaking in, along with all the other ingredients (except the mint) in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover the pan (partially at first, until the foam subsides, then snugly), and cook until the rice is done, 10 to 15 minutes. Do not stir the rice while it cooks. Remove from the heat and let the rice rest undisturbed about 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter, garnish with the mint leaves, and serve.
