Notes
Use a high-quality, full-fat yogurt for the best results.
Be sure to use a cheesecloth or coffee filter to strain the yogurt. A paper towel or dish towel won't work as well.
The longer you strain the yogurt, the thicker the labneh will be.
Add any herbs, spices, or toppings you like to customize the flavor of the labneh.
Labneh can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.
