Our lavender syrup recipe
It’s wonderfully aromatic
Add an aromatic twist to your drinks and desserts with our homemade lavender syrup recipe. Try it for yourself!
If the usual hotels in Innsbruck, Austria have lost their charm, it’s time to experience the Hotel Klosterbräu in Seefeld. We are always happy to spoil our guests with our culinary delights!
Speaking of culinary delights: this year, our lavender plants truly outdid themselves, bursting into spectacular bloom. This bounty presented a perfect opportunity for a delightful culinary endeavour: homemade lavender syrup. Together with our children, we spent an entire afternoon in our farm kitchen, handpicking the delicate flowers, all the while being enveloped by lavender’s calming aroma. Would you like to make your own lavender syrup? Here is the recipe.
Ingredients
- One cup of fresh lavender flowers
- Two cups of water
- One cup of sugar
- Juice of one lemon
Preparation
In a pot, bring the water to a boil and add the lavender flowers. Take the pot off the heat, allowing the lavender flowers to steep for approximately 30 minutes. Strain the lavender-infused water through a sieve, discarding the blossoms. Add in the sugar. Heat the mixture, stirring constantly until the sugar is fully dissolved. Let the syrup simmer gently for about five minutes until it thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice. And there you have it! Your aromatic lavender syrup is ready to enhance drinks or lend a special touch to cakes and desserts.
Dear Klosterbräu Family,
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to EVERYONE for the countless messages and the incredible outpouring of support. Please know that we are all safe.
At present, we are still in an orientation phase and in close coordination with authorities and partners. As difficult as it is for us to say: based on current information, we unfortunately will not be able to welcome you during the upcoming summer season. Our major goal, however, is to reopen the Klosterbräu at the beginning of December 2026. We are currently contacting all reservations that fall within this period. Thank you for your patience.
We are doing everything in our power—with full commitment, day by day—to make this possible. Over the course of the summer, we will be able to better assess whether this timeline can be met.
To stay closely connected with us, we warmly invite you to follow our latest updates via our WhatsApp channel, Instagram, Facebook, or by subscribing to our newsletter.
There is one thing we can say with full conviction:
Alongside the necessary reconstruction work, we will also bring our heartfelt projects to life—
including the expansion of the wellness area, a new natural swimming pond, new rooms, and the renovation of the existing spa.
Something new is being created—while at the same time preserving what lies at the very heart of the Klosterbräu.
Because we know:
What truly lives within the Klosterbräu cannot be taken by fire—rooted in its history, new beauty will rise from the ashes.
With warm regards
Your hosts
