infusion process

Infusion is the process of extracting flavors or beneficial compounds from a substance, typically a plant, by soaking it in a liquid, usually water or oil. This can be done through methods like steeping, where the substance is left to sit in the liquid for a certain period, allowing the flavors to meld. Common examples include brewing tea, where hot water extracts flavors from tea leaves, or creating herbal infusions for cooking or medicinal purposes. The result is a liquid enriched with the essence of the original material, often used for beverages, culinary dishes, or wellness products.
