Ice from robe shaken off in the street (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sorbet

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'ice' is the definition.
(I know that sorbet is a type of ice)

'robe shaken off in the street' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
an anagram of 'robe' is 'orbe' which is within the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is located in the answer.
A single letter 's' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sorbet that I've seen before include "A flavoured water-ice served between courses" , "Icy dessert" , "Possible course" , "Water ice dessert" , "Fruit juice and water ice" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
