Nothing says "summer" like a cold drink in the backyard. Instructables has made a nifty tutorial on how to make ice straws to keep your drink cool and pretty much be the most refreshing hipster in the neighborhood.
All you need is a cheapo ice tray (I've seen the longer ones at Ikea, but you can probably find them other places, right?), some clay, and a few plastic straws. I don't have an Ikea within 300 miles of me, so I'm going to have to figure out another way to do this...Lifehacker powers, activate!
