Ingredients
  

  • 1 kg double cream full fat plain yoghurt
  • a big pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Line a wire mesh strainer with cheese or muslin cloth and place it over a bowl. Add the salt to the yoghurt, mix and place into the lined strainer, cover and leave in the fridge or cold room for at least 24 hours to drain.
    You want the consistency to be that of a soft cheese - it is then ready to use. The longer you strain the thicker the labneh will be.
