I’d love to show you mine, but after ten-plus years of daily use it’s a little too well-loved to be photographed. That’s the best review I can give it. It’s still going strong, and I’ve never found anything better. I've lost the lid along the way which is a pity. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis clever little set is the best tool I know for turning milk kefir into thick, tangy kefir labneh, and for catching the whey to use as a starter for homemade sodas. You get two things from one batch, and nothing goes to waste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy I love it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo cheesecloth needed.\u003c\/strong\u003e Many strainers need a cloth liner as well. This one doesn’t.

A few hours gives you a thick, Greek-style kefir. Leave it overnight or longer for a firm, spreadable labneh you can roll into balls and cover with olive oil. Save the whey for kick-starting ginger beer and other wild sodas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOrder with a pouch of ready, house made milk kefir or even better; a milk kefir SCOBY. This would make a great present. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sheldon Hammond","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68150716956976,"sku":null,"price":46.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2604\/4698\/files\/labnehmaker1.webp?v=1792651292","url":"https:\/\/www.thefermentary.com.au\/products\/the-kefir-strainer-milk-kefir-to-cream-cheese","provider":"The Fermentary","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
