Total Time1 day 5 minutes
Cuisine: Lebanese
Servings: 8

Ingredients

  • 1 lbs thick, whole milk yogurt
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Spoon yogurt into your nut milk bag or cheese cloth
  • Sinch up the bag or tie the cloth tightly using kitchen twine (please see notes on straining techniques above for additional methods)
  • Place the yogurt bag in a fine mesh sieve over a small bowl. Store in the fridge for 1-2 days or leave on the counter if you want it to ferment a little bit for additional tangy flavor
  • After a few days of straining the yogurt, it will be a very thick and spreadable labneh. There will be whey in the bowl which you can use in smoothies and dressings.
  • Transport the labneh to a bowl and add salt to taste
  • Serve or store as needed

Notes

Homemade Labneh should last a few weeks in the fridge
