How to make Strained Yoghurt | Labneh Recipe | 3 ways

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 พ.ย. 2024
- Strained yogurt or Labneh (لبنة), is a classic vegetarian Levantine breakfast. Due to its resemblance to cream cheese in texture, Labneh is often confused with cheese but it’s not. It’s really just yogurt that has been strained overnight to allow the whey to drain out leaving us with this dense and creamy dip. Labneh has the tartness of yogurt, which makes it refreshing!
Labneh is dense and thick with a rich creamy and slightly tangy flavor, like yogurt. Labneh works great as a dip or as a spread on sandwiches and pairs very well both with sweet and savory flavors.

Hi guys, a few notes:
1- If you do not have cheesecloth or muslin, you can use a fine cloth or a clean kitchen towel instead.
2- Storing Labneh is super easy, you can put it in a clean Tupperware or jar and cover the surface with olive oil which helps preserve it for a longer time. It can last you about 1 week in the fridge. Additionally, Labneh freezes really well, so if you've made a big amount you can just put it in the freezer! ⛄️
Let us know what you guys think of this recipe and what you like to pair your Labneh with! 🤗
so is is as soft when it is defrosted?
It's absolutely delicious. I followed your clear instructions and strained 1kilo of goat milk yoghurt last night in my new cheesecloth purchase over the sink. Mixed the salt in this morning and drizzled olive oil over. It's so yummy and even better than I had hoped it to be! Perfect with cucumber and olives for breakfast and tonight I'll serve it with meat. I've been wanting to learn how to make labneh for years since enjoying the Lebanese food at our local Lebanese restaurant. Thank you so much for sharing. This will be a regular dish now in our family.
I moved to a rural small town in Colorado 4 years ago from Scottsdale, AZ and haven't been able to get labneah in this area. But I recently found your channel & was so excited to find that I could make one of my favorite foods at home. So I bought the best quality Greek yougurt that was full fat & made my own yesterday. I went by several times & squeezed the bag to encourage the rapid dispersal of whey. I had a lovely breakfast with my labneah, olive oil, Zadar & warm pita bread. Thank you for this wonderful gift that I will enjoy for years.
Wonderful! That makes us so happy! Enjoy labneh for the years to come! :)
And as an update I have shared my labneah with several people to mixed reviews. Those that really enjoyed it have taken to making their own also. I guess that you either love it from the start or don't. I am so blessed to be able to live in such a quiet rural area but still have my favorite things from world travel. Thank you again.
I always thought that labneh is some kind of cheese, I'm surprised it's made out of yogurt. I was always avoiding recipe using labneh as I can't find it, thanks to you, I have the solution now ! The 3 versions looks yummy !
YUM! Olive oil and zaatar is my fav!
😋😋
Am with you
This has the best video I’ve seen on the whole process. Good job!
Delish I have been buying commercial labneh for years but today I have learned to make my own THANK YOU! My first-time goat milk yogurt will be strained and ready in 4 hours. I am going to subscribe right now to your channel as I see many comments are very favourable. THUMBS UP 10 STAR.

Dima Asfour glad to hear that 😍😍 thank you!!
It's called Greek yogurt in the US. But, I've seen some Lebanese people add salt to the yogurt BEFORE straining it. What does that do?
It removes more liquid
can u post the video how to make yogurt like in the video
What can be made with the whey, something simple?
I just made it and tastes great! Thanks ;-)
That’s awesome - thanks for the support 🙌🏽
What’s the black stuff you added to Labneh!
Did you add sugar in the sweet lab Eh?
Can we call this Greek Yogurt? Or is it different? Thank you 🙏
Yummy 🤤
Can you please tell me what cut of meat. You use for beef shawarma
This looks amazing! I'm wondering if you can use the strained liquid for anything?
The only use we could think of is if the labneh is thicker than desired, you can add a tablespoon or two of the strained liquid for a creamier texture!
May we suggest just simply drinking it ,its THE best nutritional has all the goodness and vitamins.
Use in bread baking or soups
It's absolutely heavenly with olive oil and zaatar
But what do you do with the liquid that is strained off?
I’m dairy free
Can I use coconut yougart ?
Tbh, not sure -we never tried it! It’ll probably miss the some of the tangy kick that regular labneh has. If you try it, let us how it turns out! 🤗
What can the whey be used for? I’d hate to just throw all that liquid away if there are uses for it
Bread baking
Sorry for bothering you again but can I ask do you real lemon juice for all recipes calling for lemon or an lemon juice bottled with nothing else added
Not at all! Please ask anything! Also follow us on instagram @LemonLaimoon :) We always use fresh lemon juice. We don't buy the bottled stuff. But if we have a lot of lemons, we sometimes squeeze them and add salt to them and store them in a bottle in the fridge for easy use :)
@@LemonLaimoon wow nice idea
Is this similar to Greek yogurt??
Absolutely, it's similar but this has more of tart flavour. Did you try it out?
Yup happening at my house
Amazing! I hope it turned out good. Let us know! Happy holiday! :D
Is it hung curd, or something else
is this same as butter ?
It’s not, it’s strained yoghurt (much healthier)

That third way sounds disgusting
Desteğe geldim sizi de beklerim
can u post the video how to make yogurt like in the video
What can a cook do with the remaining whey?
