My grammie used to make her's from scratch by boiling milk....it included a "starter" from previous batches. This was served on french or flat bread with salt and pepper. The starter was lost when she passed away. I'll have to try this!

@sdmomxs3 You can make yogurt by using some of plain yogurt as a starter. . I suggest you give it a try in the empty container of just finished yogurt.. add few table spoons(2 or 3) of plain yogurt in the container, beat it well until smooth then add warm milk (not hot!) Mix the milk and yogurt together,cover with lid and a blanket, and let it stand overnight, in the warmest part of your kitchen.. Refrigerate for few days to thicken. A week later prepare lebneh as instructed..

Thanks for this nice recipe. The authentic one made by Bedouins in Jordan is slightly sour and salty. Few tips I took from them for the very original labneh:

1. Use the yogurt made of a mix of sheep and goat milk (not cow one).

2.Use a yogurt that is close to its expiry date (this gives the slight sour taste).

3.Mix the yogurt with a pinch of sea salt before you put it in the cheese cloth.

4. To enhance the sour flavor more do not put the whole thing in the fridge immediately.

Thanks a lot :)

@catris in the labneh we should control the ''acidity'', it should be enough acide, not salty.
