How to Make Labneh
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the plain yogurt and salt. Mix well until the salt is evenly distributed.
- Take a piece of cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel and lay it in a fine-mesh strainer or sieve. Place the strainer over a bowl.
- Pour the yogurt mixture into the cheesecloth-lined strainer. Gather the edges of the cloth to form a pouch, and secure it with a rubber band or kitchen twine.
- Place the strainer in the refrigerator and let it drain for at least 12 hours or overnight. This will allow the whey to separate from the yogurt, resulting in a thicker Labneh.
- After draining, remove the Labneh from the cheesecloth and transfer it to a serving dish. Drizzle with olive oil and add your choice of optional toppings like fresh herbs, olives, or za'atar.
- Serve the Labneh with pita bread, vegetables, or use it as a spread or dip. Enjoy your homemade Labneh!
- Note: You can adjust the thickness and tanginess of the Labneh by varying the draining time. Longer draining time will yield a thicker Labneh.
