How to Make Yogurt and Labneh at Home

How to Make Yogurt and Labneh (the Middle Eastern Version of Cream Cheese)

Learn how to make Yogurt and middle eastern Labneh at home by following Mary Anne's simple steps. In this video, store bought goat milk is used to make yogurt overnight without using any special equipment. To make the yogurt, you just need milk and a sample of yogurt containing live bacteria (either from store bought plain yogurt or from a previous home-made batch).

After the yogurt is made, Mary Anne converts it into tangy Labneh by straining it for 1 to 2 days. A bit of salt is added and the finished labneh is plated with olives, veggies and za'atar.

Labneh can be eaten as a dip, as a spread on bread, or put into a sandwich with veggies. It is excellent on toast with a slice of tomato, served with a cup of tea. It is eaten any time of the day in the middle east.

Labneh is full of "good-for-the-gut" probiotic bacteria because it is basically a strained (and salted) yogurt.
