Remove cinnamon stick and blend the remaining mixture in a food processor until smooth, working carefully as it will be very hot. Return pureed mixture to the saucepan and stir in the water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, approximately 5 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in coconut milk. Add salt and lemon juice to taste.
