Instructions
Place colander over a bowl and line colander with a cheesecloth or coffee filters.
Place yogurt in the lined colander and top with salt.
Cover yogurt with cheesecloth or additional coffee filters and set aside for 24 hours.
After 24 hours, remove the whey that has drained into the bowl and check the consistency of the labneh. It should be nice and thick.
Once Labneh has reached your desired consistency, transfer to a serving bowl and top with Olive Oil and garnishes of your choosing.
