This elderberry yogurt bowl is a quick breakfast or snack with creamy yogurt, oats, fresh fruit and a colourful swirl of Clariberry syrup. The whole bowl comes together in about five minutes.

Ingredients

• ¾ cup (175 mL) plain yogurt
• 1 tablespoon (15 mL) Clariberry Elderberry Syrup
• ¼ cup (60 mL) rolled oats or granola
• ½ pear, thinly sliced
• Pinch of cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon chopped nuts or seeds, optional

How to make an elderberry yogurt bowl

1. Spoon the yogurt into a breakfast bowl.
2. Drizzle the elderberry syrup over the yogurt and make one or two gentle swirls.
3. Add the oats or granola and arrange the pear slices on top.
4. Finish with a pinch of cinnamon and optional nuts or seeds.
5. Serve right away for the best texture.

Simple ingredient swaps

• Dairy-free: Use your favourite unsweetened dairy-free yogurt.
• Different fruit: Replace the pear with sliced apple, banana or seasonal berries.
• Softer oats: Toast rolled oats lightly or let them sit in the yogurt for a few minutes.
• More crunch: Add pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds or chopped walnuts.

Ingredient and storage notes

Clariberry contains Ontario honey, so this breakfast bowl is not vegan even when made with dairy-free yogurt. Check the product label and choose yogurt and toppings that suit your dietary needs.

Clariberry syrup is shelf-stable unopened for six months. Refrigerate the bottle after opening and follow the storage directions on the label. Adjust the amount in this serving idea to suit your taste.

A warm mug of herbal tea is one of the simplest ways to enjoy Clariberry syrup. This five-minute recipe pairs its berry, honey, lemon and cinnamon flavours with a caffeine-free tea.

Ingredients

• 1 caffeine-free herbal tea bag, such as rooibos, peppermint or ginger
• 1 cup (250 mL) hot water
• 1 tablespoon (15 mL) Clariberry Elderberry Syrup
• Lemon slice, optional
• Cinnamon stick, optional

How to make elderberry herbal tea

1. Place the herbal tea bag in a mug and pour in the hot water.
2. Steep for 4 to 5 minutes, or according to the package directions.
3. Remove the tea bag and let the tea settle for about one minute.
4. Stir in the elderberry syrup.
5. Add a lemon slice or cinnamon stick, if you like, and enjoy warm.

Tips and variations

• Adjust to taste: Start with 2 teaspoons of syrup for a lighter flavour or use up to 1½ tablespoons.
• Serve it cold: Let the brewed tea cool, pour over ice and then stir in the syrup.
• Keep it simple: Clariberry already contains Ontario honey, lemon and cinnamon, so extra sweetener is usually unnecessary.
• Protect the flavour: Stir the syrup into the brewed tea instead of boiling it directly.

Elderberry syrup is a simple way to add berry flavour and sweetness to food and drinks. With Clariberry, the berry taste is balanced by Ontario honey, lemon and cinnamon.

Start with a small amount, taste and adjust. The suggestions below are recipes and serving ideas, not medicinal doses.

1. Stir it into herbal tea

Prepare your favourite herbal tea, let it reach a comfortable drinking temperature, then stir in a little syrup. Taste before adding another sweetener: Clariberry already contains honey. Lemon or ginger tea makes a simple starting point.

2. Make an elderberry spritz

Fill a glass with ice, add a small splash of syrup and top with sparkling water. Stir gently and add a squeeze of lemon if you like a brighter finish. Adjust the syrup-to-water ratio to your preference. The result is an easy alcohol-free drink for lunch or a relaxed evening.

3. Drizzle over plain yogurt

Add a little syrup to plain yogurt and stir it through, or leave it as a berry swirl. Pair with oats, granola or fruit you already enjoy. Add the syrup just before serving so you can control the sweetness of each bowl.

4. Finish oatmeal or pancakes

Use elderberry syrup as a finishing drizzle once breakfast is ready. Its berry and cinnamon notes offer a different flavour from maple syrup. Start with less than you usually pour, then add more after tasting.

5. Add it to a smoothie

Blend a small splash into a smoothie when you want a little more berry flavour. Because it is already sweetened with honey, taste the smoothie before adding other sweeteners. This is a flavouring choice, not a substitute for the fruit or other foods in your recipe.

6. Build an alcohol-free mocktail

Use syrup, sparkling water and citrus as a base, then experiment with a garnish such as a lemon slice or fresh mint. Add fizzy ingredients last and stir gently. For a group, mix the non-carbonated ingredients first and add sparkling water by the glass.

Choose a syrup that suits the recipe

Read the ingredient list: elderberry syrups vary in sweetness, added herbs and intended use. Clariberry has four ingredients—elderberry juice, Ontario honey, lemon juice and cinnamon—and is sold as a food. It contains honey, so it is not vegan and is not for children under 12 months.

Store your bottle between servings

Our current bottles have a six-month unopened shelf life. Refrigerate after opening and follow the bottle label. Read our storage guide for the distinction between current shelf-stable bottles and older refrigerated batches.

Elderberry syrup is a sweetened preparation made with elderberries. Recipes vary: some are made for food and drinks, while other products are sold with specific medicinal directions. Read the label to understand the product you are choosing.

What is in Clariberry?

Our recipe uses elderberry juice, Ontario honey, lemon juice and cinnamon. The berries provide a rich, gently tart flavour; honey balances the tartness; lemon adds brightness; cinnamon brings a little warmth. We make it in Ontario with locally sourced elderberries and honey from Ontario beekeepers.

Clariberry is sold as a food. Our serving ideas are ways to enjoy its flavour, not a medicinal dose. We do not make illness-prevention or treatment claims for the syrup.

Five things to check before buying elderberry syrup

1. Ingredients: look at the actual ingredient list, including sweeteners and any added herbs.
2. Bottle size: compare the amount you receive as well as the price. Clariberry is sold in 8 oz bottles.
3. Storage: check whether refrigeration is required before opening and what to do afterward. Follow the bottle-specific instructions.
4. Delivery: enter your address to check shipping availability and the full cost before paying.
5. Intended use: do not assume research or directions for one extract or medicinal product apply to every syrup.

How do you use it?

Stir a little into herbal tea, drizzle over yogurt or breakfast foods, or mix with sparkling water and lemon. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste. See our food and drink ideas for more combinations.

How does Clariberry keep?

Current bottles are hot-bottled for shelf stability and have a six-month unopened shelf life. Refrigerate after opening. Older bottles carrying refrigerated-storage instructions should still be stored according to their own labels. Our storage guide explains the change.

Buying online in Canada

Order Clariberry online for shipping across Canada or choose free local pickup in Oshawa (Columbus). Current multi-buy savings appear automatically in the cart. Our shipping page explains delivery estimates and free-shipping thresholds.

Contains honey: not for children under 12 months. It is not vegan or sugar-free.

Updated September 24, 2026 · By the Clariberry team

This article replaces an older discussion of health benefits. Clariberry is sold as a food, not a licensed natural health product. We do not claim that our syrup boosts immunity or prevents, treats or cures illness.

What our syrup brings to the table

Clariberry brings berry flavour, honey sweetness, lemon and warming cinnamon to everyday food and drinks. Those are the reasons we suggest it for tea, yogurt, oatmeal or a sparkling-water spritz. See our culinary serving ideas.

Ingredients are not proof of a health effect

Elderberries have been studied for a number of potential effects, but a plant ingredient, a laboratory result and a finished food are different things. Research about a particular extract or dose does not establish that a bottle of Clariberry produces the same effects. We do not present laboratory findings as health benefits of our syrup.

What the evidence can and cannot tell us

The NIH overview describes a small body of research on elderberry and respiratory symptoms, with insufficient information for many other proposed uses. It is not evidence that Clariberry prevents colds, supports heart health, relieves allergies or improves skin. Our previous broad statements should not be used to make health decisions.
