Cinnamon Grapefruit Sorbet

Directions

1. Break up the cinnamon bark into small bits, and put in sauce pan with water, sugar, and ground cinnamon. Bring mixture to a low boil until all sugar is disolved. Let simmer an additional 2 minutes to extract the cinnamon flavor. This creates a cinnamon flavored simple syrup.
2. Strain and cool the simple syrup.
3. Add 1 1/2 cups of simple syrup to the grapefruit juice and stir together. Add additional syrup to taste. Add the vodka. Put mixture in refrigerator until well chilled.
4. Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and operate until the sorbet is a thick slush. Put sorbet into containers and freeze overnight.
5. Sorbet will not harden completely due to the vodka and will be easy to scoop and serve.
6. Suggested serving is a small scoop decorated with a piece of cinnamon bark.
7. (A commercial ice cream maker may fully freeze the sorbet)
