  1. I just suspend mine from the doorway or a light over the counter in cheese cloth n keep a bowl under it. Can also use paper towel, doesn’t actually give it a weird flavour if you’re not buying some weird type of paper towel. Grew up doing this making labneh w family. Don’t need the fancy stuff at all.

  2. If someone is interested in the pros and cons of straining yogurt:

    What you lose:

    -Some whey protein: whey is a high-quality protein, so the total protein per gram of yogurt may drop a little.
    -Some lactose: this can actually be a good thing if you’re sensitive to lactose.
    -Some minerals: like calcium, potassium, and magnesium, since they dissolve in the liquid.

    What stays:

    -Most of the casein protein: the main protein in yogurt, which helps with satiety and muscle repair.
    -Probiotics: the beneficial bacteria stay in the yogurt, not in the whey.
    -Most vitamins and minerals: especially the fat-soluble ones like vitamin A and D.
