As the mercury rises, one of our favorite ways to lick the heat is to stop by the ice-cream parlor for some cold, sugary temptation.

Whether you settle on Cookies 'N Cream or passionfruit sorbet, the greenest--and trust us, most enjoyable--way to partake of your double scoop is to ask for a cone, instead of a cup and spoon. Not only will you save some extra waste, but you'll also be able to top off your treat in the most delectable way: By wolfing down the wafer packaging. Now how many gastronomic activities let you do that?

Difficulty level: Easy
