3. Combine water, glutinous rice flour, and remaining 2 cups of coconut milk in a bowl. Mix well using a wire whisk. Pour the mixture into the cooking pot. Stir until all the ingredients are well blended.
4. Gradually add the sugar while stirring. Continue to cook until the mixture becomes very thick.
