In a large pot combine water, cinnamon stick, and rice. Bring water to a simmer and simmer slowly for 15 min. Add oat milk, condensed milk and dulce de leche to the pot and simmer for 10 more minutes. Add ½ - 1 cup of the sugar (depending on desired sweetness) and vanilla, simmer for another 10 minutes or until the arroz con leche has reached the right consistency.
