botanical infusion

A botanical infusion is a process of extracting flavors, nutrients, or medicinal qualities from plants, herbs, or flowers by steeping them in a liquid, typically hot water, oil, or alcohol. This method allows the active compounds to dissolve into the liquid, creating a flavorful or therapeutic mixture. Common examples include herbal teas, where dried herbs are steeped in hot water, or infused oils used in cooking and skincare. Infusions are valued for their ability to deliver the natural properties of plants in a gentle, accessible form without the need for complex extraction techniques.
