As mentioned in the intro. Lebneh is the naming convention for both a Technique and a Dish. My acquaintance with Lebneh was at the age of 10. My mother made this occasionally. But she named it Bulgarian Yoghurt. I connected the dots when dining at Hereford Road. A lovely restaurant in Notting Hill. I ordered Eton Mess. And this particular English desert is based upon this ancient Technique. In sieving Yogurt overnight. So the magic is in the amount of time you have. To split the Dairy from its Whey. The latter is the word for all fluids that together make milk. So in a nutshell. Lebneh is the result of an overnight rest of Yoghurt. That was basked in a linen covered sieve or colander
