1. Soak the hominy in cold water overnight, then drain and rinse it well.
2. Place the hominy in a large pot with 6 cups of fresh water and simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the kernels are tender and starting to split.
3. Drain the hominy, return it to the pot, and add the milk, sugar, cinnamon stick, cloves, coconut, and salt.
4. Simmer over low heat, stirring often, for 30 minutes, until the mixture thickens into a creamy, porridge-like consistency.
5. Stir in the condensed milk and cook 10 minutes more, until glossy and rich; remove the cinnamon stick and cloves.
6. Serve warm in bowls, dusted with ground cinnamon.
