Straining the Yogurt
Place a fine mesh strainer over a large bowl and line it with cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel. Pour the yogurt mixture into the strainer and let it drain in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours or overnight. The longer it drains, the thicker the labnah will become.

Serving Labnah
After the yogurt has drained, transfer the thick labnah to a serving dish. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with fresh mint leaves if using. Serve with fresh bread for dipping.
