• 1-3/4 cups (425 ml) sugar

• Add additional syrup to taste.
• Add the vodka.
• Put mixture in refrigerator until well chilled.
• Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and operate until the sorbet is a thick slush.
• Put sorbet into containers and freeze overnight.

• Suggested serving is a small scoop decorated with a piece of cinnamon bark.

Comments

A commercial ice cream maker will fully freeze the sorbet.
