2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

A dash of advice
Be sure to use natural yogurt for making labneh; yogurt thickened with gelatin or other thickeners will not separate into solid and liquid components. The longer the yogurt drains, the thicker the labneh will become. If it gets thicker than you like, simply stir some of the liquid back into it.
