Step 3Freeze and Finish
Place your tray in the freezer for a few hours or until completely frozen.
Once your tray is frozen, carefully remove each ice straw.
Removing plastic straw
I found the easiest way to remove the straw was to allow the straws to thaw for about 10 minutes. Then push a skewer through the clay and straw. The friction from the clay pushed out the straw far enough that I could grab it.
You don't necessarily have to remove the straw as long as you remove all of the clay. A clean pipe cleaner would work well for this. This way, you'll get a longer service life out of your straw.
Now go enjoy your Sunday Mimosa or afternoon Bloody Mary :)

Hm. . . I wonder if you could use cut-down bbq skewers to make a thicker straw and avoid the clay. . . .

You can use bendy straws with the same method, just have them bent when you freeze them. Its awesome as it cools a warm soda as you drink.

Meh, can't win them all.... But I'm a bit proud that enough people like this that it held it's own as most popular for about a week straight :) Perhaps proud in a self serving sort of way - but I don't think there's any other type of pride :p
