The key element of making Labneh remains the "Labneh bag", which is nothing but a fine strainer made of white cotton fabric in order not to risk any dye transfer to the soft white cheese.
In the Lebanese mountains, where the ambient temperature is fresh at night, the Labneh bag was simply filled with yogurt and hanged overnight on the sink tap so it drains water coming out of the yogurt directly in the sink.
The procedure remains the same except that the Labneh in the making has to be kept at the refrigerator overnight, and so the technique consists of the following:

The procedure remains the same except that the Labneh in the making has to be kept at the refrigerator overnight, and so the technique consists of the following:
- Proceed in the evening
- Use a strainer on top of a bowl in a manner that the strainer's bottom does not touch the bowl.
- Adjust the Labneh bag inside the strainer and fill it with any quantity of yogurt.
Close then the Labneh bag and leave it for a few minutes before emptying the water out of the bowl and putting all in the fridge. Empty again the collected water from the bowl before going to sleep not to let it touch the bag during the night.
