Once the water has reached a boil, place a lid on the saucepan then reduce the heat to low then and let the rice cook for 12 minutes. After 12 minutes, turn the flame off and let the rice steam for 15 minutes. Once the rice has finished steaming, use a fork to fluff the rice.
Pour the coconut milk and coconut condensed milk into the saucepan, then add the cinnamon stick and use a rubber spatula to stir in the vanilla extract and kosher salt.
