I make this often so I wanted to show how to make one of my favourite appetizers, labneh! Drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with dukkah. This is amazing with pita, roasted veggies, grilled meats and just a great appetizer for a mezzo platter.

You will need a nut milk bag or cheese cloth or thin dish towel
Prep: 10
Strain time: 6-24 hours
Total: 6-24 hours
INGREDIENTs
4 cups of plain full fat greek yogurt, i like at least 8% fat
