Equipment

  • cheese cloth

Ingredients
  

  • 32 ounces Yogurt ( use really good quality yogurt)
  • 1 teaspoon salt

To serve

  • olive oil
  • za'atar

Instructions
 

  • Place a large sieve over a deep bowl, then spread the cheese cloth over the sieve. Pour the yogurt in the cheese cloth. Then, grab the edges of the cloth and cover and set aside in the fridge to drain for 15-24 hours. I made it the night before and checked on it the following morning and it was perfect.
  • Store the Labneh in a tight container in the fridge. Serve with bread and top the Labneh with olive oil, sumac or Za'atar, fresh dill and black pepper.
