Homemade Labneh

500ml natural yogurt

pinch of sea salt flakes

jam strainer, muslin bag

or muslin cloth

Mix the salt into the yogurt.

Set up your jam strainer or muslin cloth over a bowl and add the yogurt.

If using a piece of muslin you will need to suspend this over the top of a bowl to allow for the liquid whey to drain out. If using a jam strainer place a bowl underneath the bag.

Leave to drain for 8 hours or preferably overnight in the fridge. Once drained it’s ready to eat, sprinkle with chilli flakes or herbs and drizzle over extra virgin olive oil. 

Keep in the fridge for up to a week, but trust me it won’t last that long.

Tip: Try different herbs in the labneh, mix in parsley, mint, or chives.
