Steps:
- In a large bowl stir the salt into the yoghurt.
- Spoon the yoghurt in the center of a piece of doubled cheesecloth or soft cotton fabric (preferably undyed and immaculately clean).
- Pull corners up and tie tightly.
- Suspend from a stationary object over a bowl (to catch liquid).
- Let this hang overnight or about 12 hours.
- When well drained it will be the consistency of cottage cheese.
- Remove from the cloth.
- Store covered in the refrigerator until needed.
- You can mix in fresh or dried herbs, minced garlic, pepper flakes, anything you would use to make an herbed cheese.
- Or you could drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with fresh lemon juice and some cumin and dip pita crisps into it-- The sky's the limit really- so many uses!
- To make Yoghurt Cheese Balls (Labneh Makbus) (a great little appetizer!), drain the yoghurt for 10-12 hours longer.
- Take about one tablespoon at a time and roll it into smooth, round balls and place on a tray.
- Chill until firm.
- This will take several hours.
- After they are firm and slightly dried out, place in a sterile, air tight jar, cover with olive oil.
- Seal the jar and store at room temperature.
- The labneh will keep this way for several months but you will have eaten them all up long before that!
- Enjoy Labneh Makbus cut into halves, drizzled with olive oil and eaten with olives and fresh pita bread.

- Place the yogurt into the cheesecloth carefully and sprinkle with salt. Stir to incorporate. Tie the cheesecloth on the top to prevent any air from entering into the yogurt.
- Set aside the yogurt in the cheesecloth-lined strainer on the counter or in the refrigerator for 24-72 hours, depending on your desired thickness.
- Remove the strained labneh from cheesecloth, and transfer it to a serving dish or bowl. Use the back of a spoon to make a swirly pattern in the top of the labneh. Serve cold or at room temperature with olive oil, zaa'tar, vegetables and pita, if desired.

- Scoop the mixture onto a layer of cheesecloth (or 2 layers, depending on the thickness of your yogurt). Bring the edges of the cheesecloth together, tie it around a wooden spoon, and place the spoon across the top of a medium bowl so that the labneh hangs in the center but does not touch the bottom of the bowl. Chill overnight.
- Remove the labneh from the cheese cloth. Transfer to bowl and serve as a spread with desired toppings and veggies, pita, or crackers for dipping. It can also be dolloped, like soft goat cheese, onto salads, pizza, or flatbread.
