Hvor er det varmt i dag!<\/strong> (How hot it is today!) Like many other European countries, Denmark was recently hit by a hedeb\u00f8lge<\/strong> [hethebolyeh] (heatwave) with temperaturer<\/strong> exceeding 30 grader<\/b> (\u00b0C). Fortunately, Danes have many remedies to cool down \u2013 one of them being the s\u00f8d og syrlig<\/b> (sweet and freshly sour) dessert known as koldsk\u00e5l<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Koldsk\u00e5l<\/b> – pronounced “coll skawl” – means cold bowl <\/i>and is a yummy refreshment for sunny days in the garden (it’s more of a stay-at-home treat than a beach party ingredient). Eat it after a warm m\u00e5ltid<\/b> (meal) or independently. Koldsk\u00e5l<\/b> comes in many different varieties, but is most often a k\u00e6rnem\u00e6lkskoldsk\u00e5l<\/b>, based on k\u00e6rnem\u00e6lk<\/b> – a kind of buttermilk, which can be bought in any Danish store.<\/p>\n
