Coconut Rice

Start by rinsing the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch, preventing the rice from becoming too sticky.
In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, coconut oil, butter, bay leaf, and salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.
After cooking, fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains and enhance its light, fluffy texture.
