The excess liquid will start dripping into the bowl beneath the strainer. Our grandmas used to hang it by tying it to the tap over the kitchen sink, letting the whey slowly drip, but doing this in the fridge is safer. Keep it in the refrigerator for 24 to 48 hours. Make sure the yogurt is sitting above the drained liquid. The longer it sits, the thicker the labneh will become. You will notice that the yogurt has shrunk to about half its original size. Transfer the labneh to a bowl and discard the whey.<\/div><\/li><li id=\"wprm-recipe-7699-step-0-2\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\">Take a spoonful of the labneh and place the scoops on a tray lined with paper towels, leaving some space between each one, then top them with another paper towel.<\/div><\/li><li id=\"wprm-recipe-7699-step-0-3\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\">Leave them to dry out for 1 day, changing the paper towels whenever they get saturated with whey.<\/div><\/li><li id=\"wprm-recipe-7699-step-0-4\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\">Shape the balls using the palms of your hands to make them perfectly round. Transfer the balls to a tray covered with paper towels\u2014this time uncovered\u2014and refrigerate to help them dry out completely for 12 hours, or until the paper towels underneath the labneh balls are dry and no longer saturated. This is a sign that your labneh balls are ready to be preserved in oil.<\/div><\/li><li id=\"wprm-recipe-7699-step-0-5\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\">Transfer the labneh balls to a clean glass jar, and pour in enough olive oil to fully cover them.
