Labaneh Ingredients
Method
Labaneh Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Yogurt
In a mixing bowl, combine the plain yogurt with salt. Mix well until the salt is evenly distributed.
- 2
Strain the Yogurt
Place a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth over a bowl. Pour the yogurt mixture into the strainer and let it drain in the refrigerator for at least 12 to 24 hours. The longer it drains, the thicker the labaneh will be.

Serve the Labaneh
Once the yogurt has drained to your desired consistency, transfer it to a serving dish. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with za'atar spice if using. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
