Place the jasmine rice in a fine mesh sieve and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. Make sure to drain the rice well afterwards.

In a medium non-stick saucepan, heat the coconut milk, water, and salt over medium-high heat.

Once it starts to boil, add in the rinsed and drained jasmine rice, bay leaves, and lime zest. Bring this mixture back to a simmer.

Adjust the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer until the liquid has been thoroughly absorbed, but do not worry if there are a few small pools of liquid on top. This process should take about 18 minutes.

Take the saucepan off the heat but leave the rice to rest, covered, for about 15 minutes.

Before serving, take off the cover, discard the bay leaves and fluff the rice gently with a fork.
